Christina continues her conversation with Danny, who is speaking from within Waupun Correctional Institution*. He speaks more on the programs in prison, what works and doesn't work, the reality of what it's like to be released and how easy it is to reoffend, especially when there is a lack of support from the community and society.
Danny opens up about his goals upon release in the near future and shares his ideas on how a system that is so flawed can change.
*Waupun Correctional Institution is still experiencing a form of lockdown and there is still little information on when it will come to an end.
