In Episode 60 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Yochanan Friedman. In addition to running a Chabad House with his wife, Baily, in S Cruz, Friedman is spearheading a new prison program based on the teaching of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and designed to transform prisoners from a life of service rather than mere survival.
Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich and often surprising stories of Chabad shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.

Just to clarify, Reb Yochanan has hardened criminals and former gang members studying seriously with him, completing semesters, graduating with diplomas, and changing their lives from extreme to extreme.
