The prison population in the United States is rising. So are the numbers of people exiting prison and trying to piece their lives back together. In fact, three million people will be released from prison over the next five years.
On this Prison Desk edition of Making Contact, we'll look at the barriers former prisoners face, and community efforts to support people re-entering society.
