This work was created in 2021 by graduate students at the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania with the support of The Ian L. McHarg Center.

We would like to thank Brent Cebul, Amanda Woodrum, Nina Chase, Allison DeJong, Darien Williams, Kate Orff, Brett Story, Olufemi Taiwo, Zane Cooper, Holly Jean Buck, and Julian Brave Noisecat for being so generous with their time and knowledge. We’d also like to thank Decarcerate Louisiana and the Promise of Justice Initiative for their incredible work in the Delta, and also for consolidating voices and stories of those who have been incarcerated.
