a case about a 6-year-old boy and the sacred bond that exists between he and his father.

I was a 14-year-old boy for 30 years.

We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.
