About the Show

A new play that exposes the reality of our American jail system.

Within the confines of the Visit Room, emotionally charged meetings occur between inmates and visitors. We observe how the impact of incarceration diminishes any chance of success for inmates who have served their time. This play follows five inmates and their loved ones, bringing to light critical systemic failures and questioning who belongs on which side of the bars.
