STATES OF INCARCERATION

States of Incarceration focuses on the past, present, and future of incarceration, exploring the explosion of prisons and incarcerated people in the US — including immigration detention centers — and its global dimensions. States of Incarceration brings together a national community of over 800 people in 18 states who together created a traveling exhibit, web platform, and series of public dialogues. Teams of students and people directly affected by incarceration in these cities each explore a history of incarceration in their own community.
