A widely-referenced 2007 UW-Milwaukee study found that 62% of men ages 30-34 from that zip code had been incarcerated at some point. In 2014, Think Progress wrote about “how one Milwaukee zip code explains America’s mass incarceration problem.” After learning this, Transform Films, a New York-based documentary film company, and director Keith McQuirter felt compelled to tell the human stories of those affected. The result was Milwaukee 53206 a 50-minute documentary that follows three individuals and their families dealing with the prison system in different ways.
