How can we truly understand Life Without Parole without knowing its impact on the families and communities of those who are condemned?  In the newest episode, of Move It Forward we look at the sentence through the eyes of two mothers, Patricia Vickers and Martha Williams, who are struggling to bring their children home from prison.  They share about their complicated struggles and the growing movement against death by incarceration that gives them hope and keeps them fighting for second chances.
