The newly released short documentary, A Sentence Apart, puts a human face on the ripple effects of incarceration in the U.S. The award-winning film intimately follows the stories of three people coping with a family member in prison, attempting to bridge broken relationships, and diligently working to break the generational cycle of incarceration.

“Only personal stories can truly convey to students what prison sentences really mean to loved ones left behind and just why we all should care. A Sentence Apart helps do just this by sharing the experiences of three individuals coming to terms with their loved ones’ prison terms. A Sentence Apart is an ideal instructional tool that has helped me humanize the social impacts of mass incarceration and generate enthusiastic and meaningful classroom discussion. It will be a mainstay in my lesson plan, and I highly recommend it all those who introduce their students to this important subject.”
