Prison to Fatherhood

On today's show, we discuss From Prison to Fatherhood with Carlos Felix. Each year, more than 600,000 individuals return home from prison, which has profound consequences for the children of prisoners. Most prisoners have difficulties reconnecting with families, housing, and jobs. Many prisoners remain plagued by substance abuse and health problems upon reentry into the community. America's incarceration binge partly attributed to unprecedented crime rates during the 1980s is the driving force behind the growing national problem of children with a parent in prison or jail.
