A note from the photographer:
“We Are All Criminals seeks to challenge society’s perception of what it means to be a criminal and how much weight a record should be given, when truly — we are all criminals.
But it is also a commentary on the disparate impact of our nation’s policies, policing, and prosecution: many of the project’s participants benefited from belonging to a class and race that is not overrepresented in the criminal justice system. Permanent and public criminal records perpetuate inequities, precluding millions of people from countless opportunities to move on and move up.
We Are All Criminals questions the wisdom and fairness in those policies.”
