Having grown up in Brooklyn's Vanderveer projects, emmy-nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams has seen first-hand how family and close friends have been swept up in the criminal justice system at an early age. In "Raised in the System," Williams meets with his nephew Dominic, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for second-degree murder at age 19, and his cousin Niven, who entered the prison system age 14, was released with restrictions preventing him from returning to his family, and ultimately fell back into crime. In Baltimore, Williams reunites with Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, his former co-star on the HBO series "The Wire," who describes how her life was transformed after being sent to a maximum security facility for adult women as a teenager.
