How One Family Copes With Incarceration

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 19, 2014

Lawrence Bartley has been incarcerated for more than 20 years for a crime he committed as a 17-year-old. Now he's married, with three kids, and he's still in prison. Anna Sale, the host and managing editor of WNYC's Death, Sex and Money podcast, and Lawrence's wife, Ronnine Bartley, talk about the struggle to keep the family together when one parent is incarcerated. You can hear all of Lawrence's story on this week's episode of Death, Sex and Money. Plus, call in with your stories on how you cope if you've got a family member behind bars.
