The Lifer’s Group, I Am My Brother’s Keeper

WPIX-TV

The Lifer’s Group, I Am My Brother’s Keeper earns a Peabody Award for WPIX in New York City. This slice of prison life from the inside shows young first offenders the real horror of being shut off from the world. It’s raw, it’s full of street language, it’s tough, and it’s real. So real that it took a lot of courage to air it in prime time.
