A multimillion dollar jail expansion proposal in Haywood County is causing a rift within the community and raising questions about the importance of rehabilitation and the effectiveness of incarceration.

Host Charlie-Shelton Ormond explores the issue with Vicki Hyatt, reporter for The Mountaineer; Jesse Lee Dunlap, an organizer for the group Down Home North Carolina, which opposes Haywood County's proposed jail expansion; and Jeff Haynes, Chief Deputy of the Haywood County Sheriff's Office.
