Racing for Time is a 2008 Lifetime Original Movie, starring Charles S. Dutton, and Elizabeth Pena.

==Synopsis==Gang rivalries between inmates in a Texas juvenile women's correctional institute are subdued when a guard (Charles S. Dutton) encourages the inmates to participate in sports training. The inmates eventually go on to compete in a 4x100 m relay against high schools in the local area. In "Racing for Time," Cleveland "Stack" Stackhouse (played by Emmy Award winner Charles S. Dutton) is a guard with the Texas Correctional Youth Authority who witnesses the cycle of destructive choices and racial tensions among female teen offenders and decides to do something about it. He gathers African-American, Latina and Caucasian teens, and organizes a multi-racial track team behind the bars of the prison. Participation in Stack's track team not only breaks down the racial divides between the girls, but puts them on a path to turn their lives around.
