Becky's world was shattered. While her husband faced a felony conviction and a seven-year prison sentence, she and their two sons were left to contend with the aftermath.

A Sentence of Their Own
chronicles one family's annual pilgrimage to a New Hampshire State Prison, revealing the damaging impact incarceration has on families.

A Sentence of Their Own makes visible what is rarely seen, the gradual descent of a family "doing time" on the outside, and calls for a closer examination and deeper understanding of our growing use of incarceration and its impact on families, communities, and our culture at large.
