Juvenile-in-Justice


Juvenile-In-Justice

One of our first tasks for the Fall semester of 2015 is to learn more about photographer, Richard Ross.  The photograph featured on the cover of Nell Bernstein's Burning Down the House, The End of Juvenile Prison text was taken by Richard Ross.   You can learn more about Ross and the Juvenile-In-Justice project documenting the incarceration of children in the United States at juvenile-in-justice.com

At the website you can also purchase the text and learn about other books as well.  This week we watched the program Conversations from Penn State, hosted by Patty Satalia interviewing Ross about the Juvenile-In-Justice project.  Click here to check it out.

In thinking about the work of other social justice photographers such Joseph Rodriguez, it has me thinking about a course that studies juvenile justice through the lens.  There are several other photographers who've captured the justice system through photo.  I'd call the class something like Photo Justice...
