«I’d like to introduce my new series of San Quentin prisoner portraits: H Unit. Each of the prisoners was attending a Green Career Fair sponsored by theInsight Garden Program. The fair, which is held inside San Quentin’s H Unit Cafeteria, was designed to provide the men with contacts that might lead to green jobs upon their release. During the fair I asked the prisoners if they would be allow me to take a portrait. Almost every man I asked agreed. I’m grateful to the men of H Unit, the Insight Garden Program, and to San Quentin State Prison for allowing me to photograph. The portraits can be seen here: San Quentin: H Unit.»
