Anne Ryder follows women at the maximum security Indiana Women’s Prison as they enter the PLUS (Purposeful Living Units Serve)Program, an intensive 18-month spiritual or personality-based boot camp that segregates volunteer inmates in a dorm-like setting to those interested in the spiritual side and those that are not. The goals of the program are to change lives, improve prison behavior, and keep released inmates out of prison. Included in the interview are women with serious crimes such as Mary Laurine Tackett, who received a 60-year sentence for her part in the torture slaying of Shanda Sheer near Madison, Indiana and Lisa Gambill who was serving a 40-year sentence for drowning her five-year-old son while high on methamphetamine.
