There are 40,741 men and women currently locked up in North Carolina prisons. Of these inmates, 98 percent will eventually win release. LeJhoyn Holland was released from the state prison in Hillsborough, North Carolina, on August 24, 2009, after serving 25 years for first-degree murder. He faces long odds: 65 percent of inmates who get out don’t stay out. Most return to prison.
"Getting Out and Getting On" follows Holland through his integration back into society, with all the challenges and choices that follow. The do***entary also shows the vital role Holland’s interfaith volunteer support team plays in his reentry.
