Photo exhibit shows the ‘collateral damage’ left behind by the District’s incarcerated

In one photo, a 6-year-old boy stares hauntingly into the camera. Another shows his 14-year-old brother, also with no grin. They are the sons of a father spending decades in prison.

There’s a photo of a 16-year-old girl whose brother is imprisoned. There’s one of a 31-year-old man whose mother and father were both locked up. And there’s an image of an 87-year-old woman, the mother of two sons and a daughter who were behind bars.

These are faces of D.C. residents with loved ones who have been sent to prison, sometimes serving life sentences.
