The first time Emani Davis's father saw her as a baby, he was behind a glass partition at the Brooklyn House of Detention. At that moment, neither imagined that this first encounter would set the stage for most of their interactions in the decades to come. When Emani was six, her father was again headed for prison--this time sentenced to 107 years for his role in a shooting in Virginia. For the past 22 years, the time she spends with her father has been monitored by armed guards and limited to prison visiting hours.

  • I relate to this video so well. My father has been incarcerated for 15 years and is serving a life sentence. I've visited him in several prisons, and it's always been a struggle at the front desk. What you can and cannot wear really does change from day to day. One time my perfume set off their faulty drug detection test, and I was told I had to leave the premises...or my niece was 6 months old, and they said her strapless dress was inappropriate. Seriously, a baby!? They really take it too far.
