CONNECT NY
Being Poor - The Cycle of Injustice
Season 3 Episode 301 | 56m 46s
Being Poor: We look at the connection between poverty, race, and the justice system.
Susan Arbetter meets Jamier, a young black man in Albany who has been arrested several times for what he calls “walking while black.” We spend a day with him, and the employer who helped get him back on track when the justice system failed him. Susan is joined by experts from around the state who shed light on challenges and potential solutions surrounding urban poverty.
