Injustice: a documentary about British prisons from the view of UK prisoners prison workers.

Описание: The controversial documentary by Lee Salter (www.lee-salter.com) about British prisons, Injustice. This is the final cut of the UK prison documentary, Injustice, a film about the crime, prison and us. Injustice looks at the role the prison system plays in England and Wales.

Injustice is a British prison documentary that charts the workings of the English criminal justice system and the role prison plays in it. Prisoners, judges, campaigners, prisoners' families and prison workers tell the story of how we deal with social problems through imprisonment.

The prison system is shocking to the core. A prisoner attempts suicide every 3-4 hours, a death every day, a suicide every 3 days, the system is in crisis. Of 80,000 inmates, 40,000 prisoners will be assaulted each year, and if you don't have mental health issues when you go in, you will when you come out. And how do we want people to be after prison?

Injustice is a documentary firmly grounded in the radical Third Cinema tradition, giving each speaker the space to develop the film. Tommy tells us about his childhood and how his decisions led him to prison, witnessing suicide and violence at every turn.

A prison monitor gives her account of prison life, alongside a former prison guard whose view of inmates and the prison system is shocking in an unexpected way.

Gethin Jones tells us about how being a child in care led to a decade and a half on heroin and prison, and immersed in a world of crime. He also tells also how difficult it is to get out of the cycle of crime.

A prison officer tells us shocking stories from the guard's point of view, and experts leave us with the simple point that prison doesn't stop crime but makes it worse.

Injustice doesn't preach solutions but asks the audience the central question: what do we do about prison?
