(in)correction part 2

With Domestic Violence declared an epidemic in Massachusetts, law makers struggle to find a solution. After the brutal murder to Robin Mendes, the Blodget Law took effect, extending the sentence from 2 to 5 years for repeat offenders and making it a felony. Press Pass TV investigates whether the length of the sentence truly matters, or if it is what happens while the men are behind bars which does. They uncover an inadequate system, lack of accountability and communication resulting in a high recidivism rate.
