Sharjah: An award-winning photographer has collaborated with non-government organisations and other entities to influence governments to raise awareness and improve the condition of prisoners with mental health conditions.
Sharing his experience at the 5th Xposure International Photography Festival at Expo Center Sharjah, Robin Hammond said: “It was a conversation with a cab driver in 2011 while on an assignment to cover a developing political story in South Sudan that eventually changed the course of my photographic work. On learning that people with mental health conditions were chained and locked in prisons, I visited the nearby prison and was shocked to discover dozens of men and women living in the most horrific conditions,” said Hammond, adding: “It was a place that you smell even before you see it.”
