After decades in prison for the alleged sale of a $10 bag of marijuana, Mr. Ramson Miller still holds faith in humanity.

In this closing episode, we reflect on key moments from his 23.5 years of incarceration while taking a deeper look at the realities of mass incarceration—and what we risk losing as a society if we move forward without understanding, compassion, and change.

Part 2 of a 2 part episode.
