DOCUMENTARY
PHOTOGRAPHY

Because so much of my work focuses on criminal justice issues, specifically prison conditions, and carcerality is first and foremost a spatial phenomenon that manifests itself through the built environment, much of my documentary photography, like my scholarly research, focuses on the built environment, with a specific emphasis on carceral architecture and the materiality of conditions of confinement, as well as documenting the visceral experiences of people from different walks of life as they navigate through and are impacted by the carceral built environment.

Much of the selected photography you see below spans continents, transversing across several U.S. states, from Connecticut to South Carolina, and countries, from Germany to Norway. In many ways, it is a visual comparison of the architecture of different carceral systems and their differing values. It is also a documentation of the movement of people and ideas and practices across borders, portraying the networks, diplomatic efforts, and influence of non-state actors like nonprofits and architecture firms in shaping the architecture of carcerality transnationally.
