I strongly recommend the "Daughters" documentary on netflix which covers one of these father-daughter dances. I struggle even bringing it up to people without getting teary eyed. It completely broke me, in both good ways and bad.
It’s a hard watch. Worth it, but hard. The dance itself is amazing but the aftermath of the dance is brutal, especially with that sweet and smart 7 year old girl who doesn’t quite understand how much time her dad is going to do
I’m a teacher in dc and I personally know one of the girls from daughters! She’s doing well and dad seems to be ok, he picks up the little ones from school a lot
I definitely recommend listening to Ear Hustle from the beginning. It’s a podcast run by a journalist and prisoners at San Quentin. It’s an honest look at life behind bars. It’s beautiful and funny at times, as well as very scary, worrisome and intimate.
The warden signs off on every episode, and gives his story as well.
Edit: I just want to emphasize how much this podcast really looks at what it means to be a man, mostly minority men, in our culture and society right now.

Well that broke my heart.

A lifetime of shame and regret. This is likely the best way to scare a guy straight tbh.
Cry cry. U think u r tough now? What a beautiful gesture.
This is beautiful. I hope they keep doing it.
God damn. Phone away. Hugging my girls.
I’m more than ok with tax dollars going towards things like this
I think it was paid for by a charity who I am now going to hunt down and donate to
That is…. Honestly the most wholesome thing I have heard all day…. If you find it could you reply with it for the rest of us?
it's two orgs: Daughters for Change and God Behind Bars!
The dads are crying, the daughters are crying, I’m crying, just a whole lot of tears over this 🥹
