Manage episode 420864845 series 2847924
Recidivism rates in the U.S. are some of the highest in the world, and in Wyoming, 33 percent of inmates are back in prison within the first year.

But Wyoming has a special program – one of only five in the country – that teaches inmates how to tame wild horses.
