Palo Alto Online reported on a wheelchair basketball program taking place inside the California Medical Facility, a prison located about 55 miles from San Francisco.

The program provides men, including those with physical disabilities, an opportunity to participate in basketball practice and find a chance at reinvention.

Larry Roach, who leads the sessions, gathers the participants into a circle before practice begins on Wednesday afternoons.

This initiative aims to support rehabilitation and personal growth among incarcerated men through sports activities.

The story originally appeared on CalMatters and highlights the role of adaptive sports in correctional settings.
