Fighting for a Fresh Start

Men walk out of prison with nothing but a commissary bag and clothes that don't fit right.

First stop is the halfway house, and most of them haven't eaten real food in years.

They're starving, but what hits different is watching them ask about work applications before they even

unpack. One guy told me he filled out 30 job applications his first week out.

Another hadn't seen his kids in 8 years and just wanted to afford a meal with them.

They're wearing donated jeans two sizes too big and shoes with holes, but they're already

planning their next move. Society expects them to fail, but these men are

fighting to prove everyone wrong. The system gives them nothing and expects everything.
