Terrance

What do you hope to do upon release?

“I hope to share the gift of singing and the talent of Public Speaking, along with the other skills I’ve perfected during my incarceration. Through programs like: Positive Psychology, Toastmasters, Poetry Seminars, Making it Work and Roots of Success. While living a life that reflects the powerful restorative qualities of education, hope, hard work and the strength of the human spirit.”

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 #men #portrait #incarceration #Washington #Corrections
