Video: Decarcerate PA looks to reduce the prison population of non-violent offenders

The second video in this series, WHAT WE WANT outlines the three point platform of Decarcerate PA: No more prisons, Decarcerate (to decrease the prison population of non-violent offenders), and Reinvest in our schools and communities. // A collaborative production by Art Factory, PhillyCAM, Decarcerate PA.

This summer, Art Factory collaborated with Decarcerate PA and PhillyCAM for six weeks to make three short stop-motion videos to help people realize the grand actuality of the Prison Industrial Complex. PhillyCAM was gracious enough to let us use their equipment and their space while we planned, filmed, recorded and edited our 3 videos. Decarcerate PA helped us clear up the clouds by telling us more about what they do as well as the political and community results and consequences of mass incarceration. We hope that these pieces will shed light on the current situation, and inspire people to join the movement to stop the prison industry and reinvest in the community.
