(kalw) - California has the highest rate of parolee recidivism in the nation. What factors lead to the correctional revolving door? We travel behind the walls of San Quentin State Prison to talk with men about to be released... to the bus depot where they make their transition to society... and to the meeting hall where they try to find their way. Also, we talk with the warden of San Quentin about sentencing and parole reform. © Copyright 2012, kalw
