Rebuilding a life after prison

In 2012, California amended its “Three Strikes” law—one of the harshest criminal sentencing policies in the country. 

It became the first time in U.S. history that citizens voted to shorten sentences of those currently incarcerated.

That’s the topic of the new film, The Return.

Take Two speaks with filmmaker Kelly Duane de la Vega and former prisoner Bilal Chatman, who was featured in the film.
