At the end of September the DOC, under new Commissioner Joseph Ponte, announced a series of reforms pertaining to the treatment of
young inmates after Bharara threatened to sue.
In one portrait of an
inmate, Billy Owen, says, «If they can tell their story, if they can show their picture to a
young man, and make them understand that this is what happens to you
after 20 or 30 or 40 years of crime, I think they'd like to make that point.»
