A 5,000+ word feature about Rehabilitation Through The Arts, a nonprofit that works inside five prisons across New York State, using the arts to teach life skills and ease prisoners' transitions into society upon release.
A 5,000-word feature for which I embarked on the most epic of bar-hopping adventures--visiting more than 60 bars in an eight-week period to document the best watering holes in all of Westchester.
