In the early 1990s I photographed and interviewed men and women serving life sentences in Pennsylvania for my book, Doing Life: Reflections of Men and Women Serving Life Sentences (published in 1996 and 2010).
Now, 25 years later, I was able to return and re-photograph and interview some of the same people.
This portfolio pairs the two portraits, 25 years apart.
Barb Toews and I are now working on a new book about life sentences that will include these photos along with edited interviews and other material, to be published by The New Press.
