Description

The Alabama Prison Arts and Education Project (APAEP) and Auburn University Libraries invite you to a community conversation about incarceration in the United States. The gathering includes a screening of the documentary film, Prison in Twelve Landscapes and a conversation with people impacted by Alabama’s incarceration system, educators, health care providers, and scholars. Prison in Twelve Landscapes (2016; 87 minutes), directed by Brett Story, observes the presence of the mass incarceration system in life outside the prison walls. The twelve locations we visit include a California mountainside where incarcerated women fight raging wildfires, a Bronx, New York City, warehouse stocked with Department of Corrections-approved merchandize, and an impoverished Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.
