PRISON LIFE STORIES

Do you have a family member or friend who has been incarcerated?
How is your life affected by it? Termite TV Collective’s latest Life Story Project explores the stories that surround incarceration in Philadelphia. These are the faces that are often invisible and the voices we rarely hear. Prison Life Stories will challenge perceptions of what kind of people are in prison today and why.
