In The Open

In The Open. Life inside an outdoor prison

On the island of Corsica, there is a unique detention center called Casabianda. 

This particular prison which is called “open” looks nothing like any other prison: instead of the bars, walls or watchtowers, one can only sight the trees, the sky and the sea... For a full year, Guillaume Massart sets his camera inside the prison to understand what changes in an open air detention.

Under the foliage or on the beach, the inmates open up: usually unspoken, the words flow out of them little by little.
