Inspired by true events and set within the confines of the jailhouse visit room, emotionally charged meetings between inmates and visitors expose the reality of our American jail system. We observe how the impact of incarceration diminishes any chance of success for inmates who have served their time. Between The Bars , follows five inmates and their loved ones, bringing to light critical systemic failures and questioning who belongs on which side of the bars.

The cast includes Juan Arturo (TV: "Blue Bloods"), Lindsay Brill (TV: "Happy!," "Ray Donovan"), Chad Carstarphen ( National Tour: In the Heights) , Akeil Davis (Film: Have a Seat) , Katie Mack (Regional: Cabaret) , and Christopher Mowod (Film: You're The Worst),
