Filmmaker Susanne Mason says: "Ultimately, the prisoner’s problem is our problem. The more we in our communities, as engaged citizens, can dedicate ourselves to supporting healthy public institutions, especially schools and parks and cultural organizations that foster the arts and sciences and provide a good education for all Americans, the better we can prevent social decline and crime."

I was in Texas prison 1970-1975. Fred was out but famous for his work as was Francis Jalet for her support. The movement that followed their efforts would result in the Ruiz v Texas prison litigation and ultimately the idea that inmates can change their own world. This is the most important film I have seen on this subject and I am heavily promoting it to the inmates and families in my audience. If you have been in any prison or care for anyone in prison or work in the criminal justice industry, you must see this film.
well i've been told alot about my grandfather and i will always look up to him no matter what he did. but what he did inside needed to be done and im proud to have such a powerful family history.
