Living with Conviction: Sentenced to Debt for Life in Washington State Exhibit
This exhibit explores how Washington courts have been sentencing people not only to prison, but also to a lifetime of debt. The project uses multimedia storytelling and community conversations to raise awareness about, and advocate for, an end to crippling court-imposed costs, fees, fines, and restitution (commonly referred to as Legal Financial Obligations, or LFOs).
Living with Conviction goes beyond controversial headlines and statistics, exposing this injustice by sharing stories of our common humanity.
This exhibit will run from April 16 to July 26, 2026, at our Level 8 Gallery at the Central Library, with a satellite exhibit and programming at Green Lake Branch from April 26 to July 26, 2026.
