The vicious cycle of incarceration and homelessness




PBS NewsHour - Segments show

Summary: After being released from prison or jail, many people struggle to find housing. That in turn can prevent them from getting treatment for an addiction or from securing a steady job, and ultimately, staying out of jail. It's a situation now made even more difficult by COVID-19. Amna Nawaz reports on one woman's quest for housing in Austin, Texas, as part of our "Searching for Justice" series. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
