The following is a review or an essay about Sara Bennett’s The Bedroom Project<\/strong> http:\/\/www.lifeafterlifeinprison.com\/bedroom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sara\u00a0Bennett\u2019s first book of photography, \u201cSpirit on the Inside<\/a>,\u201d doubles as a collection of character evidence. Published in 2013, it portrays women who, years after being released from the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, in New York, still treasure memories of their fellow-inmate Judith Clark, a getaway driver in the Brink\u2019s robbery, in 1981, in Rockland County, which left two police officers and one security guard dead. At the time of the book\u2019s publication, Clark, a former member of the Weather Underground, was serving seventy-five years to life. She was, at once, Bennett\u2019s original muse and her highest-profile client. During the photographer\u2019s first career, as a public defender, she often represented women condemned to decades-long sentences; in her work as an artist, she has made a point of portraying these women, in order to protest the notion that only \u201cnonviolent felons\u201d and \u201clow-level drug offenders,\u201d as she told me recently, deserve the public\u2019s mercy. \u201cI wanted to say, \u2018Wait a minute,\u2019\u00a0\u201d Bennett said of her subjects. \u201c\u00a0\u2018They deserve a second chance as well.\u2019\u00a0\u201d Read the rest of the article <\/a>… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
