After decades in prison, Todd Scott, Chad Campbell, and Carlos Rebollo navigate the complex bureaucracy of the parole system and deal with its psychological toll. All three men, incarcerated as teens, wrestle with the weight of their crimes, questioning how they can appropriately express their deep remorse to a parole board that will determine whether they are released. Featuring access to intimate parole interviews, these difficult stories take us into an under-examined aspect of the prison system, begging the question: Is true rehabilitation possible?
