The Quilters: Netflix
Personal communication; 5/16/25
The Quilters follows the daily lives of several quilters inside the sewing room at South Central Correctional Center, a Level 5 maximum-security prison in a small town two hours south of St. Louis, MO. From design to completion, the men reveal their struggles, triumphs, and sense of pride in creating something beautiful in this windowless, sacred space deep within the prison walls. Watch on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/82006530.
Publisher's note: This program donates quilts to foster children in surrounding counties - similar to the quilt program at Angola Penitentiary in Louisiana that creates quilts as a fundraiser for their hospice program.
