Equipped with cameras and a novel artistic technique for changing the way they are seen, hundreds of New Yorkers on probation along with their neighbors
set out in a whole new way to return the sanction to its rehabilitative roots—only to find themselves transformed.

The second initiative by our nonpartisan nonprofit, embraced by the American Probation and Parole Association,
with programming leading to thousands in stipends paid by NYC, successful gallery exhibits, a globally honored PBS film, a widely acclaimed book,
careers launched, thousands of opportunities in the form of paid teaching gigs and photo shoots along with photograph sales—
and, no surprise, less crime.
Together helping reform America's dominant criminal justice intervention and repair its tattered reputation.
The end result?
A sanction more widely viewed as an effective alternative to locking people up—
more humane, less costly, and better at keeping everyone safe.
