I hate to sound like the president of Long Haul productions' fan club but this piece is pretty amazing. In less than ten minutes, we go from prisoners counting off their names and i.d. numbers in roll call through their release into the world again and their reunions with loved ones. It's all done through sound with no reporter telling us what to think and what to picture, and it's mesmerizing. It's as if we're one of the prisoners going through all these emotional and physical changes - total immersion. The piece is described as documenting a "typical release day" but this piece is anything but typical. Though it was made four years ago, it's still topical and riveting. I don't think this piece just specific to Hunstville and would apply for any listener across the country.
