520    All Day recounts a year in Liza Jessie Peterson's 
       classroom at Island Academy, the high school for inmates 
       detained at New York City's Rikers Island. A poet and 
       actress who had done occasional workshops at the 
       correctional facility, Peterson was ill-prepared for a 
       full-time stint teaching in the GED program for the 
       incarcerated youths. For the first time faced with full 
       days teaching the rambunctious, hyper, and fragile 
       adolescent inmates, "Ms. P" comes to understand the 
       essence of her predominantly Black and Latino students as 
       she attempts not only to educate them, but to instill them
       with a sense of self-worth long stripped from their lives.
       Peterson learns quickly that she must keep the upper hand 
       -- set the rules and enforce them with rigor, even when 
       her sympathetic heart starts to waver. Despite their 
       relentless bravura and antics -- and in part because of it
       -- Peterson becomes a fierce advocate for her students. 
       She works to instill the young men, mostly black, with a 
       sense of pride about their history and culture. She 
       encourages them to explore and express their true feelings
       by writing their own poems and essays. When the boys push 
       her buttons (on an almost daily basis) she pushes back, 
       demanding that they meet not only her expectations or the 
       standards of the curriculum, but set expectations for 
       themselves -- something most of them have never before 
       been asked to do. Peterson captures the prison milieu and 
       the exuberance of the kids who have been handed a raw deal
       by society and have become lost within the system. Her 
       time in the classroom teaches her something, too -- that 
       these boys want to be rescued.
