Hi, Ari --
Thank you so much for the welcome! It's appreciated. : )
I'll take a look at the End of Violence site. It's of interest to me especially in application to criminal justice issues.

- Noemie —
Thanks so much for your thoughtful message. I was delighted to see your photos.
I was all set to go to the New Jim Crow event, then had to pass to handle some personal things that came up. I'm sad I missed it. Thanks for keeping me posted.
Kind regards,
— Ari

With respect to prisons, there are two questions of interest to me. First, why are people incarcerated in the first place? Second, given that they're incarcerated, why are they treated the way they are within the institutions? My work attempts to explore both questions and is directed at significant change in the penal system as well in other venues where violence is a concern.
I suppose having a brother who has "done time" influences my interest.
