Breaking the traditional format of prison films, this feature documentary shows viable and hopeful alternatives to the current justice system. Granting viewers access to the interior lives of prisoners and survivors of violent crime, THE PRISON WITHIN is a moving and inspiring exploration of the healing and transformation possible when people are accountable, forgiven, and empowered to pay their debt to society with dignity and compassion.—Katherin Hervey
THE PRISON WITHIN follows the powerful stories of survivors of violent crime and prisoners incarcerated for murder as they participate in an innovative restorative justice program to heal the roots of their untreated traumas.
