Part 2 of Photographing Incarceration will feature four photographers and one writer from the Incarceration Issue of ZEKE. 

 

The United States has the highest rate of incarceration in the world, imprisoning 664 per 100,000 people. The problems within the system are vast but there is widespread agreement – regardless of one’s position on the need for prisons or not – that the 1.2 million prisoners in the US on any single day are suffering from overcrowding, poor or nonexistent health care, stifling heat during record heat waves, little or no efforts at rehabilitation, lack of education, restricted access to family, inadequate and unhealthy food, and record levels of violence by both guards and fellow detainees.

 

New Press Author Howard Zehr (Still Doing Life) will present alongside a distinguished roster of artists, fimmakers, writers, and activists working in incarceration and criminal justice.
