Directed by Jerrell L. Henderson

Pulled back into the prison system after trying to lift his family out of poverty, Omar struggles to maintain a sense of humanity while fighting to keep his loved ones close.

This poignant community-devised play uses gripping truths and soulful dialogue to reveal the human cost of America’s for-profit justice system.
