We recently launched #ProjectWitness, a VR/AR experience depicting the extreme forms of punishment imposed on children in the US w/ @Google, @YouTube, and Black Dot Films. Today, we are proud to release the #ProjectWitness webpage with brand new content!

#ProjectWitness features 6 individuals who were incarcerated as children. We are extremely grateful for @nochildbornbad, @MrJohnnyPerez, @CarventeHernan, Alyssa Beck, Jarrett Harper, and Laura Berry for their courage in sharing their experiences and expertise for this project.

Through the videos in this thread, you can learn more about their lives and immerse yourself in their thoughts on the experience of incarceration. Watch this space for new #ProjectWitness videos every week!

Today, we begin with our colleague Xavier McElrath-Bey ( @nochildbornbad), who discusses the trauma of childhood incarceration and his life experiences before prison.
