Finally understanding what it is to be baptized into Christ’s death.

What might happen if our criminal justice system ventured into a different set of moral risks? Are those who have been imprisoned for their crimes worthy of a culture of trust? APAC, a revolutionary Brazilian prison system, is making a bet that natural beauty, community, work and trust might just re-awaken prisoners' innate dignity and tap into freedom's high call (less its license). In this episode, a filmmaker and a corrections officer peel back the tensions between the power of this methodology and the need for accountability. Join Anne in her fascinating conversation with Captain Jessica Davis, a prison warden in Louisiana, and Simonetta d’Italia-Wiener, the director of the award-winning film, Unguarded. You can also check out the documentary on PBS, where it is streaming all month here.
