A bus program that has taken families for decades to visit incarcerated loved ones could disappear without funding
The bus rattled as it climbed north, a constant metallic shake that vibrated through its frame and into the seats beneath passengers. Renee Martin dragged her finger across her phone, trying to complete a digital puzzle of the Mona Lisa. The vinyl seat squeaked as she shifted to brace her feet against a footrest. It was 9:51 a.m. — two hours and 12 minutes into a four-hour ride — and outside, the shadows of trees along Interstate 83 flickered across the bus on a cloudless April morning, then passed a 25-foot Statue of Liberty rising from the Susquehanna River.
