Keana
Hebert
At
the time of filming, Keana Herbert is a 23 year-old mother of three
incarcerated for the possession of heroin. We first meet Keana, serving
her third year of a five-year sentence, in maximum security. Keana tells
her tale of downfall and regret. Simultaneously, we meet her mother,
Linda, who acts as both mother and grandmother to Keana's children.
Through Linda's accounts, we hear a parent's view on the hardships of
raising children in a time when temptation and danger loom in the poverty-stricken
neighborhoods of New Orleans. Ten months clean, we witness Keanašs release
from prison and her struggle to stay out.

of New Orleans. Heather's anger and frustration, which often get her
into trouble, may prevent her from receiving an early release date.

parole hearing. Click on picture to hear Heather Zerangue.
