The Prison In Twelve Landscapes
- 7PM
Without setting foot inside a penitentiary, this eye-opening documentary illuminates the often-invisible ways in which the federal prison system and the American culture of mass incarceration touches nearly every aspect of modern life. Traveling from California, where female inmates fight forest fires, to a Kentucky town dependent on prison jobs, director Brett Story weaves a complex, ruminative portrait of how a country became a carceral state.
