A Summer in the Prison.

September 1, 2008 |  by Jenn Ackerman  |  documentary, photography, prison, video  | 

Yesterday was the last day Tim and I spent in the prison and it was bittersweet. This summer was incredibly intense as we tried to spend as much time as we could there but I also enjoyed every day there.

I am also going to miss the guys. I have to admit there are some guys I am so glad I have photos of — not only for my project but so I can remember their smile.

I am hoping that the documentary on mental illness can be produced by the end of next summer. I have tried to be diligent and capture my video as I go but I still have about 30 hours ahead of me. As you can tell, we have a lot of tapes between the two projects.
