GBH's The Culture Show - Jack Lueders-Booth
In the 1970’s photographer Jack Lueders-Booth went to MCI Framingham, the women’s prison, to teach the incarcerated photography. He transformed a vacant wing of the prison, building darkrooms…and a community. During his nearly 10 years there he collaborated with the women who lived in the prison; teaching technique, learning their stories and making a series of color Polaroid images. They number nearly 200 and now a selection of these portraits appears in his new photo-book, “ Women Prisoner Polaroids.”
