"The works of Stephen Tourlentes are a powerful statement to the pervasiveness of the mass incarceration crisis in America," says Regis College Fine Arts Center Director, Jennifer Potts. "His photographs of prisons tucked away from view forces us to confront a truth we would rather not acknowledge: that mass incarceration affects everyone, and it's a problem that's closer to home than one might think."

Punctuating the night sky with blinding light often at the periphery of society, prisons transform more than just the visual American landscape. In this stunning series of photographs, artist Stephen Tourlentes seeks to explore the uneasy relationship the United States has with these correctional facilities and the unseen human cargo they contain.
