Synopsis

edit

Incarcerating US examines the current state of U.S. prisons and the policies that lead to unprecedented over-incarceration.[1] Incarcerating US focuses on two major initiatives; the War on Drugs and mandatory minimum sentences. The film presents interviews from current and former inmates, lawyers, lawmakers, and family members to argue that these initiatives failed. Notable consultants interviewed in the film include: Neill Franklin, Julie Stewart, Eric Sterling, Tim Lynch, Richard Wener and Marc Mauer.

Incarcerating Us was officially released on September 8, 2016, with the world premier in Washington D.C. followed by a panel discussion.[2]
