Lynn Novick's four-hour PBS documentary about the Bard Prison Initiative, 'College Behind Bars,' premieres tonight. Read the review:
It's rare that a week passes without some buried news story about states cutting back on prison education programs or even the availability and convenience of books.
The four hours, premiering over two nights and yet easily binge-able as well, are designed as a steady escalation of expectations for the BPI program, while at the same time exposing audience expectations and condescension.
Following students, men and women, at several maximum- and medium-security prisons, Novick is able to train her gaze on at least a dozen inmates who are candid in their fears and aspirations. Some are nearing the end of long sentences and hoping their Bard degree with help them upon their release, others are years from any hope of parole and simply trying to get value and meaning out of their incarceration and this rare opportunity.
