Fransesco Cocco portrays the self-afflicted and architectural violence wrought in Italian penitentiaries with visceral power that even within the genre of prison photography is rare. The work was made against the ongoing outcry of suicides in Italian prisons, Italian prisons are increasingly overcrowded. In eight years, 449 suicides have been counted in Italian jails, out of a total of 1243 deaths behind bars.
