Credits for 360degrees



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.

360degrees is produced by Picture Projects, a new media documentary company.
