Prison walls are erected not only to keep people in, but to prevent those on the outside from seeing the abuses of our carceral system. The inhumanity of what happens behind bars, as is reflected by these first-person accounts, is deliberately hidden from view in faraway prisons surrounded by high walls and double fences of razor wire. Few people other than those who are confined or work in prisons have a full view of how they operate. We’re out to change that.
