Returning Citizens: Life Beyond Incarceration

With Rigor and With Love

America jails more people than any other country in the history of the world. For many, just one arrest is enough to get caught up in the system. When they’re released back into society after their debt has been paid, often, they are offered no opportunities and no hope. But there are some who do break through, who do get a hand, who do get help. Returning Citizens tells their story.

With Rigor and With Love

Season 1 Episode 101 | 26m 46s | CC

The Philadelphia Mural Arts Project provides an opportunity for probationers and inmates to learn new skills, to channel their energy into repairing harm instead of their repeating mistakes. Anger and despair are replaced by pride in creativity and self-expression. Not art for art’s sake; art for our sake.
