Prisoners Are Family Too!

AdPunch points us to this campaign launched a couple years ago for Centreforce by agency Better World Advertising. It ran in San Francisco and Oakland.

Seeking to humanize inmates and fellow prison alum, ads feature friends and family members who really want their dads/sisters/husbands back and are asking for community support as they reintegrate.

We’re sort of reminded of Benetton’s We, On Death Row campaign. Boy oh boy did Benetton get hell for that – a possible reason why they devolved from provocation to potato-pushing.

Granted, Death Row inmates deserve all the flak they can get considering they aren’t really people.

…or are they?
