Priest puts L.A.'s ex-gang members to work

Rev. Greg Boyle is the founder of Los Angeles-based Homeboy Industries, an organization that gives jobs to young men and women who agree to give up the gang life.

They make T-shirts and tacos, do maintenance and landscaping work, and in the process Boyle says they find a sense of self worth.
