In 1998 photographer Deborah Luster and poet C.D. Wright set out to produce a record of Louisiana’s prison population through image and text. The photographer has been commissioned, in a sense, by the inmates to make portraits for their loved ones—trying to ensure a balance between photograph and subject, to connect the viewer, whether mother, child, friend, or stranger, to the prisoner.
