A documentary project called The Visiting Room Project has interviewed over 100 people who have been sentenced to die in prison with the hope of giving broad audiences a view into the lives of people serving lengthy sentences, as well as their transformations. eji.org/news/the-visit…

This is a powerful series of interviews with people sentenced to Death By Incarceration. Over 50k people are serving LWOP in the U.S., 70% of whom are Black.

This The Visiting Room Project + The New York Times video asks the urgent question: how much punishment is enough?

“America has a long history of prison music, and its power goes beyond helping those inside: This music can transform us, changing how we think about the people who make it,” writes Maurice Chammah. nyti.ms/3OcCwpy

Jarrod Lanclow remembers feeling hopeless, and 'like there was nothing to live for,' when he arrived at Angola to serve a life without parole sentence. (1/4)

“I’ve been thinking about this milkshake for 60 years.”

When Leon woke up this morning he had no idea he would be coming home today. After 60 years in prison, his life sentence was commuted by the governor.

Please watch. It doesn’t have to be like this. #secondlook #EndLWOP

Glad to see the important The Visiting Room Project and my friend and former boss Marcus Kondkar getting the NYT treatment.

It’s time for society to let go of judgment and embrace compassion. These people deserve a second chance. #EndLWOP The Visiting Room Project

'None of us want to be defined solely by the person we were in our youth, or by the worst thing we ever did.'

The eye-opening work of the The Visiting Room Project hit the New York Times Opinion today and, as always, is worth a watch.

“If rehabilitation is a process, there should be an end to it.” Less than 3% of lifers who are released are rearrested (frequently it's for a technicality, not a violent crime). Lengthy prison sentences don’t make us safer. The Visiting Room Project nytimes.com/2023/08/01/opi…

Working with people in prison, you meet brilliant, amazing people. They did something decades ago, sometimes something terrible. But that's not *who* they are today. The Visiting Room Project nytimes.com/2023/08/01/opi…

We don’t even have the words to describe how important and powerful this is. You’ll just have to watch…. The New York Times The Visiting Room Project thejust.us/3qf3YLo

'I've been here longer than I've been with my family, so sometimes I question where I'm from.' Pls watch and sit with it all. The Visiting Room Project nytimes.com/2023/08/01/opi…
