Description
In this unique compilation of poetry and prose, the modern-day love story of an incarcerated man and his girlfriend is relayed through six parts which explore millennial crime, corruption of the prison system, and the difficulties faced by a couple as they try to maintain their relationship while one of them is behind bars. Meant to bring awareness to the pain and hardships endured by inmates and their loved ones, as well as lend support to those in similar situations, Sundered takes a political stance on racial injustice in our legal system. It aims to change the way society sees, reacts and punishes those labeled as criminals—most of whom are victims of an oppressed criminal justice system.
