To the Editor:
Re "Jailed and Jailers Pitched In Help After Storm" (front page, Nov. 22):
I was saddened that jail officials failed to make incarcerated people available for interviews about the role they played in helping victims of Hurricane Sandy.
In a country where those who've spent time behind bars are stereotyped, demonized and branded for the rest of their lives, it is important that we hear their unfiltered voices, gain glimpses of their hearts and experience their humanity. After all, the overwhelming majority will return home.
How we as a society view them will go a long way in determining whether they are given opportunities to succeed or are relegated to the revolving door of recidivism.
