Actress Hilary Swank urges Churches to increase outreach to prisoners. She played the female leading role in "Conviction," a film based on the true story of Betty Ann Waters, a high school drop out who got her GED so she could eventually become a lawyer and help free her brother who had been wrongfully convicted of murder.
