At age 16, Dwayne Betts was imprisoned for carjacking. With time on his hands, he began writing. Now an accomplished poet, playwright, and memoirist, as well as a lawyer, he also founded a nonprofit organization, Freedom Reads, which provides libraries to inmates. Correspondent Erin Moriarty talks with Betts about rebuilding his life, from criminal to MacArthur Fellow.
