“Those leaving prison face daunting obstacles, from barriers to employment to stigma and isolation. It became evident, [says Gregory Sale, an artist based in Arizona who focuses on prison in America and works in the growing field of ‘social practice’ art], that achieving acceptance in society is ‘a cultural problem. So the question became, how can we find cultural solutions to that?’ With his help, more than 100 people have done so by illustrating their own transformations — and their determination to make the most of their second chance.” – The Economist
