ROBERT GUMPERT – INSIDE SAN FRANCISCO’S JAILS

Posted on 2011-04-04

Robert Gumpert has been documenting the criminal justice system in San Francisco since 1994.
Gumpert’s project began with an idea to photograph a homicide detective, but quickly expanded to cover numerous other aspects of the criminal justice system. After he exhibited the work in San Francisco in 2000, he thought that was the end of it, until he received a call from the sheriff’s office. California’s oldest jail was about to close, and for Gumpert, whose photographic roots were planted in the social activism of the 70s, this was a piece of history he felt compelled to document.

Exhibition runs from April 7th to May 7th, 2011
