Before he became a filmmaker, Burns spent his early years in and out of the criminal justice system for crimes he committed as a minor. He did multiple stints in solitary confinement—the longest one lasting eleven months. In an effort to start a conversation about the continued use of solitary confinement in the criminal justice system, VICE documented the hour-to-hour reality of his time inside.
Having completed the 30 days, Burns left La Paz County Jail on January 10, 2017.
