A
Sentence of Their Own
a film by Edgar A. Barens
In July of 1996, Becky Raymond's world was shattered. While her
husband faced a felony conviction and a seven-year prison sentence,
she and their two sons were left to contend with the aftermath.
A Sentence of Their Own chronicles one family's annual
pilgrimage to a New Hampshire State Prison and reveals the damaging
impact incarceration has on families.

This video makes visible what is rarely seen, the slow and
gradual descent of a family "doing time" on the outside,
and calls for a closer examination and deeper understanding of
our growing use of incarceration and its impact on families,
communities, and our culture at large. Comes with a 21-page discussion
guide. Available on VHS. 64 min.
