The career where it helps to have a criminal past

People Fixing The World

Former criminals are being employed to run part of the probation system in one of America’s deeply troubled, gang-ridden communities. It’s a bold new approach to crime prevention, and it seems to be working - young lives are being transformed and reconviction rates are dropping. Produced and presented by Jo Mathys
