Honored to be included in Society of Illustrators #Illustrators61 Exhibition/Reception 1/9/19! On any given night, roughly 53,000 young people are in some form of lockup. Nearly 60 percent are black or Latino. #WNYC Studios Caught: The Lives of Juvenile Justice-tells the stories of young lives forever changed by collisions with law and order. "Elegy Ending with a Cell Door Closing" (written and spoken by #DwayneBetts) introduces the story of 15 year old #RojaiFentress (aka Fats) who in 1996 was sentenced to life in prison for a crime he did not commit. On the strength of one witness who didn't actually see the slaying, and with no physical evidence linking Fentress to the homicide, a jury found him guilty on the murder charge. It is now 2018, over 2 decades later and this innocent teenager” now 38 yrs old - is still in prison."
