In this special encore presentation, we listen back to our April conversation with poet, lawyer and advocate Reginald Dwayne Betts. Twenty-five years ago, he saw his entire life trajectory change in the space of 30 minutes. In what he has since described as “a moment of insanity,” Betts, then a 16-year-old high school junior, carjacked a man. He would serve eight years in prison for the crime.
