Each year nearly 12 million people in the United States circulate in and out of jails, detention centers, and prisons. For most, it's a brief and eventful encounter. But for the 2.2 million who serve longer sentences, it's a chilling and costly experience punctuated with fear, distrust, fragile hope, boredom, grief, and depression. How can they best cope with a criminal justice maze that's often filled with endless barriers, deadly traps, and hopelessness? For most people, being locked up is not the end of the world. Someday they will be released and re-enter the free world. But first, they need to meet Ned Rollo, who has walked the walk and talked the talk.
