January 28, 2026

Poets, authors, and artists are speaking out against the unfair and racist Texas jail system.

At this Houston multimedia exhibit, “End Cash Bail,” topics ranged from the abuse faced in prison by people of color, to the lingering effects of having a loved one arrested.

The exhibit is the end product of KB Brookins year-long artist-in-resident program funded by the ACLU of Texas.
