THE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL ADVOCATE - 04.29.10
It couldn’t be me...
Last week I had the opportunity to view “The Farm: 10 Down,” a poignant documentary about maximum security Angola Prison in Louisiana. The film revisits the surviving subjects of the Emmy-winning documentary, “The Farm.”
It provided me with an education about the prison system that I didn’t know that I needed. Growing up in Louisiana, I’ve always known that was the place where people went for a very long time. I didn’t realize that most of the residents of Angola are long-timers.
The film provided an interesting perspective on what happens after we throw away the key. And with so many prisoner re-entry programs focused on rehabilitating them after release, I thought we should know about what rehabilitation looks like on the inside of Angola.
