A group of female offenders inside of a Multi-level correctional institution spoke of how being "an inmate" caused people to label them before those people ever had a chance to really KNOW them. We all feel labeled at some point in our lives; different from others. We all have a role that our characters are expected to reflect. The ladies inside of the institution felt that their role isolated them...and made other people look at them differently. This lowered their self-concept.This video will combine the secrets/fears/hopes/dreams of many people...not just "inmates". Instead of labeling these people...(who come from varying levels of our society) we will look at them as individuals, and experience a glimpse into each individual's life; as they share with us a part of their TRUE self—despite the differences.We hope we will be able to deliver this video to the ladies in the institution and have them recognize that ALL people have fears, hopes, dreams, problems, and secrets similar to their own. We hope that it will help them to better associate with the correctional staff in their life...and we hope that it will help that correctional staff to recognize the importance of NOT labeling their clientele.Our intent is to humanize our image of others. Stop looking at people as a group. Start looking at them as individuals.--Cody
