"Where is the fairness?" One mother was sent back after a single failed drug test, and her family's life has now been turned upside down for more than a year.

Alvarez has heart trouble and he's struggled to take care of his four kids and his fiancé's daughter through their long separation. When Eva Cardoza returned from the federal correctional institution in Danbury, Conn., she shouldered a lot of burdens.
"She was doing everything at home. She was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, helping them with homework," Alvarez said.
