what i want my words to do to you

This is the title of a documentary that aired on PBS in 2003.  We watched it in my class on Incarcerated Women last month.  I think it provides a brief look at what I've been studying for the past six weeks.  It's very moving and powerful.  The poem at the end, read by Judith Clark, sends chills down my spine and makes me reexamine what I consider to be a crime worthy of a life sentence and what I think justice should look like.
