	Author	Review
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"The film supplies an exhaustive and exhausting overload of information about a variety of topics"	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Familiar but important points about our broken justice system (...) Though its aesthetic will be off-putting to many, the doc comes from the right place and is honest"	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"While a fair amount of its subject matter overlaps with Ava DuVernay's incendiary '13th' (...) [it] serves as a valuable primer for those estimated 13 million Americans who are arrested every year."	POS
United States	Simon Abrams Village Voice	"The messy but compelling activist doc Survivors Guide to Prison often suggests a carelessly assembled trio of short films (...) Thankfully, two of the three parts (...) prove compelling."	NEU
