This movie at first seems like one of those preaching works that try to appeal to the audience propagandistically, but it's actually a very good look at the state of "correctional facilities", or "prisons", or "the lock-up," or whatever you want to call it.
It consists of two interviews with highly expressive people, one an officer and one a institutionalized inmate. They both discuss their thoughts on their situation, often losing track of the fact that they're on an interview and just taking the time to really say what they want to. Neither of them sound particularly bitter about their role, which is surprising, but also very refreshing. Instead, they show what prison becomes to someone who has to spend the majority of their life their, and how saddening it can be.
The animation is pretty good as well. I like the second part, Joan Gratz's work, a bit more.
