TESTIMONIALS
“To a greater extent than most any other public history exhibit, and more pointedly than any policy brief now circulating on criminal justice reform, States of Incarceration captures the experiences of the people who have lived policing, punishment, and prisons in America most directly. Those who view States of Incarceration will find themselves disturbed, moved, and, above all, newly motivated to rethink the ways in which this nation deals with poverty, addiction, mental illness, disorder, violence, law breaking, and migration as well as immigration.”
