The exhibit features works from some 80 artists from around the world addressing incarceration, its impact on people and society, and alternatives to the prison system. Some of the artists are prisoners or ex-prisoners, some have never spent a day behind bars. Not surprisingly, the works vary greatly in style — some wistful, some harsh and disillusioned. The overall aim is to use art to help people think differently about prisons and their effect on society.
