LIFE BEHIND BARS: NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME

LIFE BEHIND BARS: NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME
Is life behind bars really what you see on TV? Not according to Tim Traviolia, who was incarcerated for 22 years. He's chronicled his story in Prison to Published, and he takes us behind the stereotypical portrayals to reveal the inside dirt. Denise Wilkins is the mother of Justin L. Davis, who was murdered in the Forensic Unit of a State Mental Hospital, where rap music and other negative influences led him. Both guests are devoting their lives to improving the system, helping those who struggle with crime, addiction and other problems. Mr. Traviolia is a presenter to new parolees, and Ms. Wilkins runs the Justin L Davis foundation.
