Incarcerated with more than two life sentences, Joe Perry thought he was condemned to die behind bars.  But once he found a sliver of hope, he decided he would become a man worthy of his freedom.  It took many more years but Joe is now a free man living and working in Durham.  This is his story.  

In 2023, Judy Van Wyk and April Barber partnered to create a podcast about the many issues people face when transitioning from prison. Van Wyk is a longtime video producer and criminal justice advocate. April Barber received a life sentence when she was 15. After more than 31 years, she had her sentence commuted by Governor Cooper. She was released March 24, 2022.
