WATCH: Doing Time: A Woman's View

April 10, 2023

“We believe the time is overdue for women impacted by the justice system to tell their own stories, in their own voices, about how they experienced incarceration and what it has done to their lives on the inside and after being released. acknowledging the harm we have done and the trauma we experienced on our journeys to healing.”

The Right/Write to Heal initiative, a joint project of the Columbia Center for Justice and V-Day’s Beyond Incarceration Project, in collaboration with Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) and Human Pictures has created an animated short film entitled 'Doing Time: A Women’s View' about the experiences of incarcerated & formerly incarcerated women. Doing Time features writings by the Right/Write to Heal initiative’s Jonel Beauvais, Judy Clark, Leah Faria, Selina Fulford, Latisha Morris, Harmony, Betsy Ramos, Edna Sams, Roslyn Smith, and Cheryl Wilkins.
