360degrees started out as an idea for a website almost five years ago.
It has since evolved into a major initiative with the collaboration of
dozens of imaginative and dedicated scholars, statisticians, activists,
ex-offenders, students, educators, artists, and programmers. The site
resembles our initial concept in a few ways, but it has taken on a life
of its own. Each teammember brings to the project a unique experience
and vision for building dialogue about the affects of race, crime, and
incarceration in our communities.
We would like to thank especially the inmates, officers, victims, and
their family members who opened up their lives and their homes to us.
