Worthy is a photographic investigation exploring the realities that criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence face in the U.S. Carceral system after acting in self-defense.
When survivors are convicted, they are handed jail sentences that will ensure that they languish in prison for decades instead of sentencing options that would offer therapy and rehabilitation for the trauma they’ve endured. How has this become the price of survival?
For the majority of individuals who find themselves in these situations, they are punished for defending themselves or they die at the hands of their abusers when they don’t: kill or be killed. Who is worthy of being believed and receiving justice and compassion? What does justice look like for survivors of sexual and domestic assault when the concept of a “perfect victim” is a fantasy?
