CGiii Comment

The eyes of Johnny (Gail Maurice) have seen more of the world than most. A resilient and brave woman, Johnny has spent the last seven years in the maximum-security Prison for Women, where she has fallen in love with fellow inmate Lana (Columpa C. Bobb). With her release date near, Johnny struggles with her devotion to Lana, the demands of her fractured family, and the difficulties that come with “freedom.”
