About Witness To Mass Incarceration
2026 Webby People’s Voice Winner — Games: Social Impact & Public ServiceHow do you capture the inhumanity of prison? The night before I left for prison, my mother told me prison would be harder for me than the concentration camp had been for her. WITNESS to Mass Incarceration: Chapter 1 is the true story of my first day inside federal prison, where within hours I realized I am no longer in the free world, and that my survival depended on learning the rules, both spoken and unspoken.How do you translate that inhumanity into game design?The computer game team decided to use a 2D narrative-driven journey, pixel art and point-and-click exploration to tell my story. We were committed to telling this story authentically and to build an immersive narrative to show the gamer the reality of the harsh life all prisoners face.
Gaming techniques like dragging and sliding objects were used in furtherance of the story. Each interaction reveals another layer of prison’s reality, immersing you in the fear, uncertainty, and emotional strain that define life behind bars.This first chapter is one in a series which tells the story of my arrest, conviction, incarceration and release. We are creating this game for you to know and feel what it is like to face incarceration. It is our hope that this game brings awareness of the issue of mass incarceration.

This interactive game was interesting. Viewing this perspective from of a first time incarcerated woman gave insight into the emotions and events that may likely be experienced by many others. It brings attention to the internal emotions that are not likely to be told throughout the judicial process.1 found this helpful
Harrowing and gripping narrative of this nation's dehumanizing system of mass incarceration. I appreciated the visual style and soundtrack as well. Interested in seeing how the other chapters build upon this narrative!

This game is very well-designed and deals with the harsh realities of the US Prison system in an informative and emotional way.
This game is wonderfully done. The art is beautiful and there is such attention to detail. It really puts you into the shoes (literally) of an incarcerated person and just how horrible and dehumanizing the US justice system is. Its unsettling and harrowing and such an important story to tell. I cant wait for chapter 2.
A sobering look at what incarcerated people endure in the US justice system. Beautifully animated and scored as well.
