Project Return A ONE-HOUR, AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY ABOUT EX-CONS RETURNING TO SOCIETY, NARRATED BY TIM ROBBINS
http://www.reentrymediaoutreach.org/rr.htm (http://www.reentrymediaoutreach.org/rr.htm)
In a large meeting room in New Orleans, a group of men and women sit in a circle, sharing stories of painful pasts and their dreams of a future that is, at best, a question mark. The faces register a moving range of depth and emotion, from tears to laughter, anguish to hope. They are the faces of society’s castaways – men and women who were formerly incarcerated – who are trying to rebuild their lives and succeeding through a simple but staggeringly effective community/self-esteem building resource program called Project Return
A Hard Straight
http://www.reentrymediaoutreach.org/hs.htm (http://www.reentrymediaoutreach.org/hs.htm) A Hard Straight chronicles the lives of convicted men and women facing what may prove to be their biggest challenge—re-entering society after years of incarceration. Beginning on the day of their release from prison, this one-hour documentary follows three individuals who were formerly incarcerated as they enjoy their newly regained freedom while negotiating the difficulties of returning to an uncaring and sometimes hostile society. Of the six hundred thousand prisoners who are released from jail every year, fifty percent of them will return there, the majority within 90 days—A Hard Straight exposes the truth behind the statistics and sheds a bright and unblinking light on the profound experience of doing time and trying to go straight.
Prison Lullabies

Prison Lullabies is the remarkable portrait of four women living on the bad side of luck, struggling with drug addiction, arrested for dealing and prostitution, and serving prison time with one common bond – arrested pregnant, Amy, Monique, Joann, and Anne Marie have all given birth behind bars For these women who are intimate terms with sexual abuse, poverty, and addiction, the Taconic Correctional Facility in New York State offers a rare gleam of hope. One of only five prisons in the U.S. to provide a nursery program for inmates, Taconic allows the women to keep their babies for the first 18 months of their lives while insisting that the mothers participate in a rigorous series of classes that range from basic child care to anger management and drug counseling.
