Corrective Measures: Biography 520513

“What do you do when the world believes you were better off dead?”
The Biographies Series is a collection of images. Drawn and inspired by individuals who find themselves in the heart of the justice system in America.

Guilty or innocent, the determination is less about conviction. More about the willingness, the acceptance, to face the road after being expelled from the bowels, the hell, meant to shape you.
Beginning in a simple lesson, “the spider has no teeth, yet it devours everything it catches in its web.” All that’s left is an empty carcass to stand as a warning to others, there is danger ahead.

Biography 520513 is one such warning. A view into the life and conviction of a man, an inmate yet ultimately, escapee of a fate many succumb to in the web. The people want justice. Yet what happens when justice decides it’s coming for the people?

What happens when the spider keeps growing its web to the point there is no one to escape past the danger? Will they then turn to the man, Mr. 520513, and say, you lead us? Maybe you’re not as bad as we were made to believe. You decide for yourself.
