Rikers Island The Good the Bad and the Ugly (2017) 

On Thursday November 5, 2016 A city correction officer was brutally slashed by one 
inmate while another held him down on a cell floor Thursday night, according to multiple 
sources. Officer Raymond Calderon was taken to New York Hospital Queens after the 
attack at the George Motchan Detention Center on Rikers Island, jail insiders said...

​
After reading this article over a closed Facebook group called "Rikers Island 
The Good the Bad and the Ugly" I left the comment “I wonder what the officer did for 
him to be attacked” under the article post. This prompted a huge amount of negative 
responses from some of the with people who self-identified as current and former 
correctional officers, police officers and local individuals who are members of the 
Facebook group. From November 6-8, 2017 I simultaneously held several discussions 
with those persons within the Facebook group. The discussion topics included issues 
surrounding prison violence and safety, departmental disciplinary strategies, the 
mistreatment of prisoners, the justification of violence against prisoners and changing the 
narrative of people in prison. Their tone and language towards people in prison is very 
malicious, degrading and unforgiving. This project is the foundation of the research work 
that I do at the Center for Justice. This artwork will never be for sale and will only be 
used in a not-for-profit way.
