To this end, currently we live in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and we are working on a series of creative projects with activists, professionals, residents and anti-prison grassroots organizations to deal with the effects of mass incarceration and to understand the historical institutions of social control that gave birth to modern ideas about freedom, justice, and penitence.
