In our interview with Kisha Petticolas, a supervising attorney at the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, we talked about the overwhelming challenges her clients face and how she can build trust and support them in making decisions about their cases.

James Richardson, Jr., executive director of Atlanta's 4Horsemen Rehabilitation Services, talked with the Right Question Institute about the challenges facing formerly incarcerated people who are trying to reenter society and how building their ability to ask questions and advocate for themselves can make a big difference.
