Noah speaks with Willy Daniels, a prisoner at the Vienna Correctional Center in Vienna, Illinois. Daniels is taking part in a program that gives prisoners a chance to be umpires for the local Little League. For more than twenty years, the center has allowed a few non-violent offenders to join the kids on the field six nights a week. Daniels says the job is a welcome break from prison and gives him a chance to be part of the community.
