After a life sentence, a prisoner embarks on an unlikely road to redemption.

One man descends into a jagged journey to murder.

A woman's single-minded devotion sets the stage for an inmate's long-sought freedom.

A deacon meets a prisoner, and their world tilts.

A husband struggles to keep his family from falling apart when his wife is carted off and jailed.

In the middle of pizza for dinner, a daughter grapples with the unthinkable—her mother's arrest.

She is a stay-at-home mother who had never earned so much as a traffic ticket. But then she suddenly finds herself accused of medical child abuse.

It's a stark reality: People are wrongfully convicted. Some are falsely accused. Others are excessively sentenced. I know all of this because I have investigated numerous criminal cases over the past decade throughout the country. The United States, by the way, has the highest incarceration rate in the world, imprisoning more than 2 million people. No community, no person is left unaffected. With this podcast series, Life on the Other Side, please join me, Alec Klein, as we take a deep dive into the lives of those impacted by prison and those helping them find justice and redemption.
