Inmates at the Cheshire Correctional Institution have provided photographs of their childhood memories. Each photo is accompanied by text explaining something about the inmate’s background, whether that is a cherished memory or what that individual’s aspirations had been. Some share what they would like to be doing with their lives if and when they are released.
None of the materials indicate what the inmates did to be handed such long sentences, though some allude to what their lives had been like as teens and younger adults.
The Road Not Taken exhibit, co-produced by Thea Montañez and Eriberto DeLeon, will be on display at the Green Door Gallery (255 Homestead Avenue) for at least the next few weeks.
