The Loop Ep. 5: Yes, And ...
About this episode
The episode follows Kaysha, a young woman navigating her dreams and challenges within the criminal justice system over a year and a half.
Kaysha is in her early 20s: low on resources, but big on dreams. Sometimes, those dreams feel tantalizingly close to reality; other times, she's pulled back into a life she badly wants to leave behind. We follow Kaysha for a year and a half as she tries to break out of the loop. This is the fifth episode of “The Loop,” Ear Hustle’s six-part series about kids in New York City who are caught up, one way or another, in the criminal justice system.
