In 2024, one of four people in North Carolina’s prisons were released to homelessness.  On the other end, people who lose their housing because of poverty or addiction often find themselves in jail.  And the cycle continues.  

In this episode, we meet a physician who has devoted his career to treating the unhoused.   Another gentleman describes  what it's like to cycle through the loop between homelessness and prison.

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.
