What is the best way to reintegrate prisoners into society?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk about what it takes to help people transition from the inside to the outside. A recent Supreme Court ruling ordered California to reduce its prison population.

Join us at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. What does it take to reintegrate people behind bars back into our communities? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
