Spokane Hosts Beyond the Wall Documentary

Spokane Public Library and Pioneer Human Services are hosting a FREE screening and panel discussion of Beyond the Wall, a documentary that follows individuals after their release from incarceration. All Pioneer Spokane employees are invited to attend the screening and participate in the panel discussion.

SUBJECT:
The U.S. incarcerates Americans at globally unprecedented rates. What’s more, within three years of release approximately two-thirds of the formerly incarcerated are rearrested and sent back to prison. The documentary, Beyond the Wall, takes a close look at the journey from incarceration to community, from behind the wall to beyond the wall. The journey is often riddled with barriers and uncertainty.
