"16 Bars" is a feature-length music doc that offers a rare glimpse at the human stories — and songs — that are locked away in our nation’s jails and prisons.  In a Virginia jail’s makeshift recording studio, four men collaborate on an album with Grammy-winning recording artist, Todd “Speech” Thomas, from the hip-hop group Arrested Development. 

With the U.S. locking up more of its citizens per capita than any other nation on the planet, the music of 16 Bars serves as a rare testimony to the raw and messy truth behind the criminal justice system‘s revolving door.
