Prison Library Offers A Place To Escape

Some 1,700 residents of the Jessup Correctional Institution in Maryland make very good use of their library.

Host Liane Hansen visits the prison to talk with longtime prison librarian Glennor Shirley. Shirley runs the libraries for the entire Maryland prison system.
