This edition of Sunday Funday is more heartwarming than humorous.  It is about a bakery in Los Angeles, the Homeboy Bakery, which turns gang members into productive members of society by giving them jobs and teaching them marketable (legal) skills.

Here is a description of the story from The CBS Sunday Morning Show:

Carter Evans reports.
