We can always use stories of redemption. Father GREGORY BOYLE created HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES to provide jobs, training, and encouragement so that young people -- often former enemies -- could work together and learn mutual respect. BOYLE has made a point of collecting powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more of those than anyone should know. As of this 2010 conversation, he had buried 168 of his homies, and filled his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. Our conversation also includes LUIS PEREZ, one of the senior staff at Homeboy.
