Episode 16: My Incarcerated Family By Samantha Zazueta

When Samantha asked her mom why so many people in her family have been incarcerated, her mom said it was "poor choices." But Sam wanted to know why. Why do people make bad choices? And does prison teach people to make good choices? This story was selected as a winner in the 2019 New York Times Student Podcast Contest.
