Description
If you committed a violent crime, would it be possible to redeem yourself? Women inmates at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women try to answer this question. In writing workshops, the women in the group, including high-profile convicts like Kathy Boudin and Judy Clark, work through a series of writing exercises and discussions. The deeply personal writings mix with the humorous and the tragic, profoundly showing the power of art in the service of healing.
