Reentry and Reunification - Hard Road Home

Hard Road Home tells the story of Julio Medina and the Exodus Transitional Community (ETC), the center he created to help ex-offenders navigate the transition from prison to life on the outside. ETC is situated above a storefront church in the East Harlem section of New York City. It was founded and is run by ex-offenders for ex-offenders. By following the lives of its director Medina and three ex-offenders as they prepare to leave prison, Hard Road Home provides a unique and unprecedented look at the staggering challenges ex-offenders face when they return to citizenship with a resumé and a record that make it nearly impossible to survive without returning to a life of crime.
