Chained Birds, Carla Conti

It's the true story of her 10-year journey to advocate for federal inmate Kevin Sanders and help him re-enter society after prison. Carla, a journalist, first met Kevin when her high school friend and lawyer, Scott, asked her to join Kevin's defense team. But Carla's mission to help out and tell Kevin's story came at a cost as she struggled to balance her own, Scott's, and Kevin's safety while writing an exposé on the horrific conditions that led to the shutdown of an experimental prison program in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
