Connections: Jeff Smith, author of Mr. Smith Goes to Prison

A new book is aiming to expose the American prison system, and it's written by a person who became an unlikely inmate. Jeff Smith was a 20-something rising star in Missouri politics, nearly getting elected to Congress out of nowhere, and then becoming a State Senator. What looked like a minor elections infraction earned him a year in prison, and he decided to write a book about his experience there. It's called Mr. Smith Goes to Prison, and Smith hopes it will lead to changes in how -- and whom -- we incarcerate in America. He's our guest.
