Father Gregory Boyle's "Tattoos on the Heart"
For more than two decades Father Gregory Boyle has been a fixture in East Los Angeles. He entered the neighborhood as the head pastor of the Dolores Mission Church and became involved in helping gang members – known as "homies" – get jobs and turn around their lives. Today he’s the executive director of Homeboy Industries, which trains gang members for the workforce. Father Boyle has a new book out, it’s called "Tattoos on the Heart" and Off-Ramp producer Queena Kim brings us this interview with him.
