Summary: Prisoners of Age, the Alcatraz Exhibition
Review: RIVETING!! Not only does this book graphically depict the often horrible treatment of America's aging prison population, but also serves as a sample of how Americans view the elderly in general. Our fast-paced, high-tech society places too much value on youthful vitality and pure intellect, not realizing the contribution that wisdom and decades of experience can bring to heighten our humanity and sensitivity for our fellow man. Even if you choose to ignore the deeper meaning of this book, the quality and impact of the photographs and artwork still make it a bargain for the price. Chris

Summary: Simply amazing
Review: Staunch contrast: Amazingly beautiful artwork and photography of subjects whose past would make your eye-teeth curl! The book not only captures prisoners, but prisoners as human beings. It is not a political work of art but it does propel you to reflect on society's ill forgotten. It is a brief look into a world onto its own.

Summary: Man's Inhumanity
Review: The theme speaks of the emotional and physical turmoil of these unseen and forgotten members of the human race- Incarcerated for a multitude of offences, doomed to ignominy and disgrace. They have been forgotten as easily as yesterday's discarded trash.. With the utmost sensitivity and delicacy, Levine reaches the inner souls of these lost souls. One can not view these remarkable tableaus and remain unscathed.

Summary: Prisoners of age
Review: This was without doubt the most thought provoking body of work I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The pictures are haunting in their eloquence. There images leave you with a sense of despair that at first overwhelms, but then touches you in pity for those poor wretches staring back from their miserable confines.
