Over the span of 2021, local Tennessee organizers from Free Hearts surveyed over 500 people to learn about how overcriminalization affected their lives and their communities. This narrative experience explores how poverty has been criminalized across Tennessee, what this means for people who live in communities in the state, and practical steps to build a better future.

Based on a report by the Vera Institute of Justice and Free Hearts, filled with the unique wisdom and direct experiences of over 500 Tennesseans.
