Film Description

A Hard Straight chronicles the lives of convicted men and women facing what may prove to be their biggest challenge—re-entering society after years of incarceration. Beginning on the day of their release from prison, this one-hour documentary follows three individuals who were formerly incarcerated as they enjoy their newly regained freedom while negotiating the difficulties of returning to an uncaring and sometimes hostile society. Of the six hundred thousand prisoners who are released from jail every year, fifty percent of them will return there, the majority within 90 days—A Hard Straight exposes the truth behind the statistics and sheds a bright and unblinking light on the profound experience of doing time and trying to go straight.
