When your loved one is an inmate, you can’t call him any time you want. Nor can you send him an Instagram or Snapchat him. 

Without access to the internet or social media, inmates miss a lot of the special moments shared online. 

“The hardest part of doing time is being separated of people you love,” shares Jess, who has been in jail for 13 years now. 

Artist Liza Tudor wants to change this situation. 

She is making flipbooks out of photos---tiny moving images. They can be something as small as a family pug playing in the mud. 

But these images are very powerful for incarcerated loved ones. “Being able just to take a few seconds to capture some video that you know will end up in the hands of a person you love is a very powerful thing,” explains Liza.
