Passport to the Future: Accessing Higher Education in an Era of Mass Incarceration from Jeremy Robins on Vimeo.
The producer touched on a good point and showing the obstacles that may people have to overcome once they are out of the system. I believe the perspectives need to change one views formerly incarcerated people. From that video it shows that a system is put in place that stop does not allow for others to better themselves. It continuously places barriers that do not allow for them to make change in their lives. One thing that many fail to realize is that we are all humans, nothing makes another person better than other. The only differences are our experiences in the world.
