Great documentary

This documentary truly highlights the benefits of education as part of rehabilitation in the prison system. You also get an in depth perspective of its affects on the inmates and how the system can improve. It is a MUST see.

I'm a Psychology student so this documentary was truly rewarding for my research.

This is not your typical prison documentary

I have watched a lot of other prison documentaries, and this one is very different from the others. People who are doing their time, is given an opportunity to be students and discover that there is more to life than what they used to think. They embraced this chance, and it is amazing to see... Also sad to see, that circumstances play a very significant role in human life, and that education needs to be available to everyone, no matter their age, race, social status. I hope all these people get their lives back in order when they leave prison, and live a better life. Society needs to invest more in education and less in wars.

Feel good and enlightening

This was surprisingly good. It was a positive watch. I encourage everyone to watch it and hope that schools show it to their students.

Just leaving a review so hopefully that other jerk's falls off the frontpage

Enough said. Some people aren't born with equal opportunities - lack of access to education, child care, a living wage - and find themselves stuck in a system that hurts rather than helps them. Even profits from them. If we could address problems like this in our country, as well as have a little bit more compassion and understanding for others' situations, we'd be much better off.

So powerful

It's amazing to see the transformation of the students here. I'm an educator at a community college, and I wish I had the privilege of having students who are this committed to learning! The single-minded focus on their classwork is astounding, and in my experience virtually impossible to replicate in the "real world". My students have jobs, families, hobbies, hijinks, Netflix and ESPN that they prioritize. The closest I've come to the dedication of these prisoners to pure academic activity was in my PhD program.

The documentary is a little slow, but very well done. It's inspiring and uplifting. Highly recommended
