“I think everyone comes out bitter no matter what they tell you.
The longer the stretch the bigger the scar.”
18-year-old Michael, living on a Dublin housing estate with his grandfather, is caught holding drugs for his friend’s
older brother. When Michael is sentenced to three months in prison, he must find it within himself to fight to survive.
Based on discussions with offenders who had passed through the Irish Prison Service's Pathways programme,
Frank Berry's prison drama is a compelling examination of the cycle of imprisonment many lower-income members
of society fall prey to.
