Long Island inmates in jail on drug charges use photo program to get clean

Comments

1. Hollow Oracle: who would've thought redemption comes in 12x15 squares?
2. Junewex: how did going through rehab get photogenic suddenly?
3. Ashen Sable: this is either incredibly heartwarming or a really bad idea in terms of rehabilitation
4. Hailecleo: it's amazing what happens when you take people's lives seriously like that
5. Diego: actually thought this was one of those gimmicky programs to keep inmates occupied, but apparently it's really doing some good
6. Silent Moth: i've gotta ask what kind of criteria they used to choose the photos for the exhibit? was it a consensus among the inmates and their families or did someone more curated the selection?
7. Hex Reaper: seriously didn't expect the art part
8. Shadow Sparrow: I'm surprised by how little attention this art exhibit is getting considering some of the bigger shows that came out of Rikers last year
9. Elias: who would have thought some art comes out of a jail program
10. Lucasp: i'm genuinely surprised the program didn't have a more traditional art therapy component to it though
11. Fathom Cipher: it's great to see redemption happening in unexpected places like a jail on Long Island but can we talk about how this photo program is supposed to be a tool for rehabilitation, not just
12. Dane: what struck me is how redemption is threaded into something so tangible as photography
