About CRIIC:
Based in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood, Communities and Relatives of Illinois Incarcerated Children (CRIIC) is a community group dedicated to providing support to those with loved ones incarcerated in Illinois prisons for crimes committed in their youth.
About Restore Justice Illinois:
Restore Justice Illinois (RJI) is a new civic organization founded to mitigate the human and fiscal impact of the extreme sentencing laws of the 1980s and 1990s, particularly where they have impacted children.
This program complements the current AWP exhibition Vinny and David: Life and Incarceration of a Family. Vinny and David began in 2012 when photographer Isadora Kosofsky met Vinny, then age 13, as he was booked into a juvenile detention center for stabbing his mother's assailant. Through Kosofsky's close relationship with Vinny and eventually, his older brother David, she has captured an intimate look at a family struggling to remain connected throughout recurring periods of incarceration. Vinny and David is open at 625 N. Kingsbury from June 8 to August 10, 2017.
