Filming of the project took place over eight visits to the Two Rivers Correctional Facility in Umatilla, Oregon, in 2010. Director Bushra Azzouz was in the later stages of editing the film when she died of breast cancer in 2019. At her request, the final editing was overseen by Post Production Director Enie Vaisburd and Post Production Producer Ellen Thomas. A number of the prison inmates who appear in the film have completed their sentences and are appearing with the film at public screenings.
