This version features an all-male chain gang because the reality is that men make up the vast majority of California's incarcerated population - and Black and Brown men are disproportionately represented.

The system calls itself the "Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation" but this design tells the truth: it's the Department of Corruption and Racism. It always has been.

The broken family at the top represents every father, son, brother, partner, and friend separated from their loved ones. The men in chains below represent the modern continuation of slavery, legal under the 13th Amendment and thriving in California prisons.

This isn't about individual guilt or innocence. It's about a system designed to cage Black and Brown men at rates that would be impossible to justify if we were honest about what "public safety" really means.

For the mothers, partners, children, and families navigating the pain of having their men locked away, racial justice organizations fighting systemic oppression, and community coalitions organizing against the prison-industrial complex. Powerful for marches, rallies, and public demonstrations.
