VIDEO:  A Military Man Behind Bars
 
 
Angela Joseph and her brother Warren came to the U.S from Trinidad with greencards. Warren served in the US military for eight years and returned with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He turned to crime and after serving six months jail time, immigration refused to release him because he was not a U.S citizen. He sat in detention for almost three years and was just released. Watch Angela tell her brother's story at the Special Rapporteur's panel on May 12, 2007 in NYC. www.breakthrough.tv
