Prison Pen Pals

NPR
Published January 6, 1995 at 10:00 PM MST

From Kansas City, NPR's Laura Ziegler reports on a prison program that encourages regular people to contact and visit inmates at a federal penitentiary. The idea is to provide inmates with human contact and a positive example of how to live outside of prison.
