Rikers Island prisoners: 66% waiting for trial; 90% are Black or Hispanic; 92% have no high school diploma; 75% go back to the island within a year; 30% are homeless; 26% have mental disorder; 10% of men, and 20% of woman are HIV positive; 25% could be released if they could afford a 500$ bail. Architect Léopold Banchini confronts a photographic illustration of the prison island with a series of statistic representations. The idea is to point at the difficulty to embrace the whole problematic of incarceration in the USA through quantitative statistical tools.
