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... -The Daily News 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.
