The Echo of a Silent Cry

“This work deals with the effects of institutional enclosure on the person confined, the loss of innocence and identity associated with the institutionalisation of young offenders. Society treats such people as defective and attempts to reshape them with a bureaucratic hammer. Little thought is given to the individual tales of loss and tragedy associated with each of these juveniles. Are they ever free from the inflicted rules and suppression? Once freed from the enclosure itself, the remaining scars have embedded themselves into the very psyche of the person involved, forever holding, forever tightening its grip. The loss of identity in the realization that all are reduced to a document or simply a scrap of paper.”
