Below are stills from Q, an ongoing film project about raising a daughter on the grounds of San Quentin State Prison from 2003 to 2019.
The current audio was taped in 2006, when our daughter was 5-years old. Her questions to her Dad are antithetical to the prevalent attitudes and policies towards inmates in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Please click on the dots below to hear a child's questions about people in the prison system.
