“Trapped: Mental Illnes in America’s Prisons”
Este ha sido el título que esta fotoperiodista americana le ha dado a su último trabajo documental fotográfico presentado en Marzo del 2008. Ackerman se introduce en las prisiones americanas para mostrarnos la parte más cruda de estos lugares de una manera muy directa y sin rodeos, con contundentes fotografías en blanco y negro documentando la vida de los enfermos mentales dentro de estas prisiones.
"A man has been singing songs at the top of his lungs for the last two days, while another, hunched on his bed, wails from under a blanket.
In a cell across the hall, a man shakes as he yells to his wife he has not seen in five years and to the thug down the street.
In reaction to the noise, another man bangs endlessly on his cell door until an officer comes by and asks him to stop.
He smiles and says he just wanted someone to talk to".
