Une nouvelle exposition intitulée « Prisons Today : Questions in the Age of Mass Incarceration« , du photographe Scott Houston, a ouvert ses portes le 6 mai dernier à l’Eastern State Penitentiary de Philadelphie. Les Etats-Unis ont battu le record d’incarcérations dans le monde, avec 2.2 millions de citoyens en détention ou en prison. Ce phénomène n’est pas dû à des changements comportementaux, il relève principalement des changements en matière de législation et de condamnations. Les résultats touchent de manière disproportionnée les communautés pauvres et défavorisées. Ces changements historiques restent presque invisibles aux yeux de nombreux américains.

On May 6, 2016, a groundbreaking new exhibit, Prisons Today: Questions in the Age of Mass Incarceration, opens at Eastern State Penitentiary. The United States now has the highest rate of incarceration in the world, by far, with 2.2 million citizens in prison or jail. This phenomenon has generally been driven by changes in laws, policing, and sentencing, not by changes in behavior. The results have disproportionately impacted poor and disenfranchised communities (mostly communities of color). In contrast, these historic changes remain nearly invisible to many Americans.
