What do you hope to do upon release?

“I hope to get into a Oxford home & get my license in phlebotomy and attend school for photography. I’d like to get into the photography field. I took 2yrs in high school & I loved it.”

These photographs represent inmates from two corrections facilities in Washington State.  In these photographs the subjects were offered the opportunity to select civilian clothing.  Many of the volunteers in this series wrote a paragraph or two about their intentions upon release.  Church, family and remaining drug-free were the overarching themes found in almost all of their goals. Each were given prints to keep or give to family, or for use in search of a job. The donated clothes are put to good use, given to the soon to be homeless and needier inmates upon their release. #prison #women #tatoo #hands #portrait #incarceration #Washington #Corrections Who’s next?
