We are a non-profit with the mission to develop sensitive, honest, engaging video portraits that humanize individuals who are being sentenced to prison. This personalized video which is viewed by the judge just prior to sentencing provides a fuller picture of the defendant so that the courts can better understand their value to their families and their communities, which often results in reduced prison sentences where appropriate. These videos are a tool to give the judge confidence to proceed with humane sentencing and often allow persons to return more quickly to resume productive lives. We collaborate in the creation of these videos with defense attorneys who represent underprivileged people overpopulating our jails and prisons. Most often we ask attorneys to bring forward candidates with genuine mitigating circumstances and admirable character traits.
