Getting out of jail or prison seems like a joyous occasion. Sometimes families gather for some real, home cooked food, hugs, and stories. Some people have no one on the outside waiting and others head to halfway houses. Whether an individual has been behind bars for two years or 20, prison takes its toll and has lasting effects. What do inmates face as they re-enter society? What are some issues that inmates face years later? This is the fourth episode of our prison series.
