Voices From Inside

A stunning film: moving, just right! It gives a very valuable picture of how women come to be in prison, and the futility of keeping them there.

Every legislature that lavishes money on building prisons--and starves programs that rebuild dignity--should be put in a room with this unforgettable story of four women's lives.

Voices from Inside challenges the current direction of prison law that is moving rapidly toward vindictive rather than rehabilitative imprisonment. Karina Epperlein's sensitively rendered story of four women able to recover their humanity even inside prison walls, poignantly illustrates the positive, life-affirming value of creative rehabilitation as a path for prisoners to discover the roots of their rage, to gain insight into its sources, and to prepare themselves for a productive life upon release.

Voices from Inside inspires and challenges us all on the outside to remember and connect with those living behind prison walls. As someone who works directly with the prisoner rights movement, I commend Karina Epperlein for providing us all with an excellent tool for organizing. I encourage you to buy or rent a copy and show it to a group.

The women and their children give us a powerful understanding of how prison impacts on their lives. Extraordinarily insightful!

A tribute to the healing power of the human spirit: these women challenge us to heal our entire society.

Unique in its evocation...recommended.
