Overview

Every weekday, dozens of inmates are released on parole from the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville. Their first stop is the Greyhound bus station, where they take their first tentative steps back into life on the outside. The abrupt return of everyday satisfactions — like scratching a lottery ticket, smoking a cigarette and putting on a spritz of cologne are overwhelming to some. Huntsville Station is a meditative look at the first moments of a major life transition as the former inmates reflect on their past and plan for the future.
