This video installation utilizes source materials created for correctional employees that include conferences, training discussions, and simulated scenarios. The artist edits the footage to uncover the system behind incarceration and the dialogue that goes on internally within the field of corrections itself.

Artist installations are made possible in part by revenue from Eastern State’s Halloween fundraiser.
