The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Brett Story and released in 2016. The film explores the social impact of the prison–industrial complex in the United States through twelve vignettes, each consisting of different settings that portray how the system has affected them. Ranging from incarcerated women fighting wildfires, to strategically placed pocket parks, to the civil unrest in Detroit in 1967, the film demonstrates the vast impact the mass incarceration dilemma in the United States has had across the country.
