Join Aperture and The Marshall Project for a conversation between artist Nigel Poor and poet Reginald Dwayne Betts, celebrating the launch of the book The San Quentin Project (Aperture, 2021). In 2011, Poor began teaching a history of photography class through the Prison University Project (now called Mount Tamalpais College) at San Quentin State Prison, California. Soon, Poor began incorporating images from thousands of negatives from the prison’s vast archive into her visual studies exercises. From the banal to the brutal, to distinct moments of respite, the pictures in this archive gave those who were involved in the project the opportunity to share their stories and reflections on incarceration. In this discussion, moderated by The Marshall Project’s Lawrence Bartley, Poor and Betts reflect on the importance and impact of both the project and the prison archive.

The Making of “Superpredators” The first edition of The Marshall Project’s new video series, designed for audiences inside and outside of prison, examines a toxic media myth that damaged a generation of Black youth.
We remember a gentleman by the name of Sammy who was incarcerated with us at Sing Sing prison. He couldn’t read. He would save letters from family members for his friends to read to him when they had time. His favorite form of entertainment was getting up to date on the news. When the hard-to-come-by newspaper appeared, Sammy would say “it was like a gift.” When both the newspaper and the mail showed up at the same time, he didn’t want to bother his friends. Instead, he would retreat to watching TV news during recreation. You didn’t have to read a television.
