I believe the photos tell the best story that I took and each of us stood in front of various video recorders and gave  short story to the media, of how the court system has grossly failed them. Interestingly enough, the Roosevelt college project on “Stop Mass Incarceration” was next to us and they also had some harrowing tales of incarcerations without justification. Some 2% of the US population is now incarcerated at any given time, and many times it is not for the violent crimes of rape, robbery, theft, arson, but for petty drug and disobedience offenses.

It’s time to stop that nonsense also.  We don’t need to railroad more people into our nation’s prisons.

And remember, when you see these pictures, each is of a court room victim with a harrowing story.

And I would like to give a special thanks to Denise Rothmeier who put this together…
