Voices from the Other Side - Woodruff Library Level 1

The artwork and literature showcased in this exhibit highlight the intelligence and talent of a student body that society often tries to forget.  Incarcerated men at Phillips State Prison in Buford, Georgia, created the works between 2008 and 2015 in courses sponsored by Common Good Atlanta, a nonprofit organization which was accredited by Georgia State University.  The program continues today to provide a platform for incarcerated individuals to earn credit towards a degree, exercise critical thinking skills, and express themselves within an institution that systematically seeks to strip individuals of their autonomy.
