- Summary:
- "When men in a prison art class [at Graterford Prison, Philadelphia, Pa.] agree to collaborate with victims of crime to design a mural about healing, the "Healing Wall", their views on punishment, remorse, and forgiveness collide. At times the divide seems too wide to bridge. But as the participants begin to work together, mistrust gives way to genuine moments of human contact and common purpose. Their struggle and the insights gained are reflected in the art they produce"--Container.
