Jenn Ackerman spent months photographing mentally ill inmates at the the Kentucky State Reformatory in 2008.
Her pictures show the extreme mental health issues plaguing many of those incarcerated in the prison system and exposes the raw reality of those conditions.
The collection of black and white photographs in her album, Trapped, are haunting.
