Inside the Romanian Jail for Women

This very interesting experiment took place in a women’s prison in Sighisoara, Romania. 6 digital cameras were given to 6 inmates and they were making pictures of everything that they thought could be interesting. How it seems, miss Radisoor wanted to see what sort of images might be captured by the residents of a Romanian woman’s prison. In order to do that, they provided the women with six Canon Powershot digital cameras, memory cards, batteries, and all the accessories necessary. They also gave the women instructions on how to use the equipment followed by basic photography lessons over time. This is just one part which I cough to translate, what one woman from the prison said: “I received six Canon PowerShot cameras that I took with me to Sigisoara in July. The cameras scared me, they had so many buttons and the manual was so complex that I was skeptical that anyone could use them; I, for one, wasn’t able to. I felt very nervous”. It seemed like the cameras were terrifying and intimidating, but in the end thousands of pictures were taken.
