Programs and challenges at the largest women's prison in the world
LIFE ON THE INSIDE takes viewers inside the largest women's prison
in the world (the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla,
CA) to explore the unique support groups, job training programs, and
church services that help the prisoners rehabilitate
themselves. Current and former prisoners, prison guards and staff, and
volunteer counselors all participate on-camera to make this film a
unique, behind-barslook at programs available to women in prison. The film does not advocate
any particlar policies, but rather allows viewers to see and judge the
activities for themselves.
