Photographer Peter Merts' images of California's Arts in Corrections program depicts subjects in a photo series that explores rehabilitation and redemption in America's prison system
One of phogographer Peter Merts' subjects with an acrylic painting of Pope Francis in 2016. The man was released from prison three years later and now owns a property where he builds micro-homes for homeless people and those who have been released from prison.His skills progressed to the point where he became an"inside facilitator," helping the instructors deliver classes and mentoring fellow students.
"We all get nervous about self-revealing," Merts added."But the artists begin to see that they can open up and investigate themselves and their lives. And when they do, they become very authentic." Ten years ago, he and Merts collaborated on a different book,"Paths of Discovery: Art Practice and Its Impact in California Prisons," which combined the latter's photography with prisoner interviews.
