Produced and directed by Ashley Hunt (Corrections), this 30 minute video documents the evacuation of Orleans Parish Prison, the building of the "Greyhound Jail" inside the New Orleans' Greyhound Station, and the criminalization of survivors of Hurricane Katrina, placing overwhelming stress on families and loved ones and hindering their 'right to return.' It uses footage from Critical Resistance's October 2005 Human Rights delegation on the status of prisoners, interviews with family members, news clips and archival film. A speaker will be present from Critical Resistance to talk about prison issues before the film. http://www.criticalresistance.org/
