Yes, In My Backyard Directed by Tracy Huling Galloping Girls Productions, Inc. 1998 This film is a valuable resource for anti-prisons activism because it describes the extent to which prisons have become an asset to the u.$. economy. The film's strength is in showing the extent to which the prisons industry encourages its employees, their dependents, and players in regional economies to think of prisons only as an economic boon. People whose families bills have always been paid by the prisons have no incentive to question the rehabilitative value of the prisons, or to ask if increased imprisonment has any effect at all on the crime rate for which it is supposed to answer.
