This is great. America needs to change the way we view ex-convicts.

I was released going on 18-years now. This is a sobering video. I'm so thankful for family's support, and if it weren't there, who knows what would have happened? It's still scary, but you must believe in yourself and own your mistakes to grow and to move forward. A trade/career helps too.

I know the media takes a lot of abuse so I want to take a minute to say thank you NYT. Your videos are always masterfully produced and the topics,thought provoking.Thank you for all your hard work, it hasn't gone unnoticed.

Excellent piece. I'd like to give a shoutout to the audio team involved. The mix was fantastic and the music fit really well. Subtle stuff, worthy of props.

opportunity is scarce in general, not even just for ex-convicts. i can only imagine how tough it might be for them.

[@willimacdo]

I appreciate the open honesty of this man. He shows such strength.

Did you learn not to go Back? I hope you're ready to start your law abiding life! Are you a citizen?

[@williamtell3203]

Hey NYT. How about doing a short film about A Ride Home from the Hospital, after being in a coma following a sever beating from a career criminal? Get it?

[@YouWillSeeEverything]

[@scarroll625]
