Prison and the Poverty Trap

3.4.13 Carl Harris

Carl Harris is a personal friend of mine. His story involves being incarcerated for 20 years, temporarily becoming addicted to drugs, his wife having homeless stints and finally turning his life around while incarcerated in preparation to return home to his wife and daughters.
