This podcast was recorded, edited, and

produced entirely by a team of currently incarcerated people in the San
Quentin Prison Report and the San Quentin ROOTS program.

Going to school in America can be

difficult for any child, but for an immigrant child, the challenges can
be far more complicated. Many times, teachers are unaware of the trauma
an immigrant child experiences prior to stepping foot in an American
classroom. This is the story about two men, Kamsan Suon, a Cambodian
immigrant, and Hieu Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant, who share their
experiences on traveling the migration to school pipeline.
