An Ex-Bank Robber’s Take On America’s Growing Crime Problem
The United States’ incarceration rate is the highest in the world, with roughly 2 million people currently serving time behind bars. Jesse Wiese has experienced America’s prison system firsthand.
He was arrested at the age of 21 for robbing a bank and spent the next 10 years of his life in prison. Now, he works as the Vice President of Program Design and Evaluation at the nonprofit, Prison Fellowship, using his experience to better the lives of those both in and out of prison.
He recently joined host Chris Foster on Rundown to discuss his arrest, and how serving time led him to his current career.
Weise also discussed America’s current crime crisis and why he believes creating more opportunities for those who are incarcerated can help with recidivism.
Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with Jesse Wiese and learn more about his unique take on America’s crime problem.
