After a summer at the Alameda County Juvenile Hall, Orlando's trying to settle back into a normal routine this fall semester at Skyline High. Saba, the school's guidance counselor, is doing everything in her power to give Orlando the stability and support he needs to stay on track before his probation hearing for the two gun possession charges that had landed him in detention. FULL CIRCLE shows the innovative Restorative Justice programs working to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline in Oakland, CA, which has some of the highest numbers of African American and Latino student suspensions in the nation.
