While small farming communities are — for the most part — only getting smaller, some young people are returning to the rural lands they once left behind. KUNC’s Adam Rayes talks to families who come from generations of Colorado farmers and explores the legacies of their lands.
Each year, more than 8,500 people are released from Colorado prisons, but nearly half go back behind bars within three years of release. The Colorado Sun’s Tatiana Flowers tells us about a new initiative from the Attorney General’s office to invest in reentry services and increase hiring rates for those recently released from prison.
