Episode Synopsis

There’s a new project in the works that will allow people to own digital artworks made in prison.

An online gallery based in Brooklyn is turning those artworks into N-F-T’s, which allows anyone to buy and sell digitized drawings and paintings.

Some of the money would go to the artists in prison.

But victims' advocates want a say in deciding who profits off this.

Reporter Clara-Sophia Daly has been following this project for months and delves into some of the ethical issues this project raises.
