Juvenile In Justice

We have just opened our latest free exhibition* here at the National Justice Museum. 

Our latest exhibition, ‘Juvenile In Justice’, is an exploration of the lives of young people living in prison in the USA. Combining photographs and first-hand testimonials, the Juvenile In Justice exhibition provides a unique insight into the lived experiences and realities of young people impacted by the juvenile criminal justice system. The exhibition highlights the work of Californian artist and activist, Richard Ross, who has visited over 300 youth detention sites in over 35 states and has documented the lives of more than 1,000 young people.

Working co-productively, we shared images from Richard Ross’ collection with Breaking Barriers Building Bridges groups of young people across Nottingham and those detained in Swinfen Hall Young Offenders Institution, who offered their own creative responses and words of compassion and hope.

Read more about the exhibition on our website or visit us to explore. 

*On our first floor, you'll find free exhibition spaces that don't need a Museum admission ticket to enter. This gallery changes periodically and is inspired by our vast collection of objects relating to crime and punishment.
