HBM019: The Other One Percent




Here Be Monsters show

Summary: In 2006, Pete Brook moved from England to California to study the museum at San Quentin State Prison. Through his research, he learned of America's first-in-the-world rates of incarceration inside of prisons that are largely hidden from view. In 2008, Pete began Prison Photography, a blog that dissects images of prisons and prisoners. This week’s show is about Pete Brook’s 2011 journey across America to interview photographers, criminologists, and, most of all, the prisoners of New York’s Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
