Would you want to live under the looming shadow of a 40-story JAILSCRAPER? The residents of Chinatown, New York, say no. The city’s fixation on colossal jail towers threatens to erode the neighborhood’s culture, strip away its vibrant street life, and, most critically, manifest a blatant disregard for and discrimination against a vulnerable community.

In this story, we invite you to join us in challenging the urban jail model and re-imagining a jail-integrated landscape where all urban residents—human and non-human—can coexist and thrive.
