The Corridor
Directed by Richard O'Connell and Annelise Wunderlich
Is there any hope for California's justice system? The state's recidivism rate is often the highest in the country. And with the passage in 2011 of California's historic "realignment" law, more than 25,000 low-level offenders were transferred to county jail facilities from state prisons.
Enter the Five Keys Charter School, the first high school built inside an adult county jail—an innovative experiment that dares to dream that the incarcerated can re-integrate successfully into society. "The Corridor" captures one semester inside the school, following the setbacks, divisions, and victories within this fragile ecosystem—from the student inmates, to the teachers and law enforcement staff. Along the way, O'Connell and Wunderlich's incisive and thoughtful film explores the shifting boundaries between punishment and rehabilitation at a time when California—and the nation—is questioning what justice really means.
