Summary:
"Where Justice Ends is at the intersection of two important and timely topics of social justice - conditions within the U.S. prison system and the injustices that befall transgender people encountering the law. The staggering conditions at the center of this film are largely invisible, but perhaps nowhere else do the inequalities of our criminal incarceration fall more heavily than on the transgender community. In the late 1980s, one transgener woman refused to endure continual abuse, assault and rape in prison. As explored by Where Justice Ends, her struggle led to the most significant ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, requiring humane treatment of all prisoners. As the film reveals, little has improved in the almost-intervening years up to today. Told through the words of transgender inmates and experts, Where Justice Ends casts a light on one of the most hidden social injustices in our country."--Container
