Amna Nawaz and PBS NEWSHOUR present “Searching for Justice: Life After Lockup,” a documentary that follows four people who spent time incarcerated and reveals the challenges they faced after they were released.

The documentary is part of the NEWSHOUR’s ongoing reporting on the barriers that formerly incarcerated people face once they are released — reconnecting with family and friends, finding a place to live, holding a job and staying out of jail or prison.
