Nearly 5,000 people are sentenced to die in Louisiana prisons without any possibility of parole.
This is the largest collection of first-person testimonials ever gathered from people serving this sentence.
The Visiting Room Project is a digital experience that invites the public to sit face-to-face with people serving life without the possibility of parole to hear them tell their stories, in their own words.
More than five years in the making, the site is the only collection of its kind, containing over 100 filmed interviews with people currently serving life without parole.
The interviews were filmed at Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, which is, in many ways, the epicenter of life without parole sentences worldwide.
As of 2022, more than 55,000 Americans are living in prisons serving life without parole, their lives largely hidden from public view.
