DESCRIPTION:"1 in 100: America Behind Bars" is a thoughtful and startling exploration 
 into the sobering fact that one of every one hundred adults in the United 
 States is in prison. The exhibit will be on display at the Oshman Family 
 JCC January 10 to January 23.\n\n"We chose this exhibit because we feel 
 that it is important to bring contemporary and stimulating issues to the 
 entire community," said Sally Oken, OFJCC Cultural Arts Director.  "The 
 statistic that 1 person in 100 is behind bars is staggering.  We wanted to 
 point out that this touches our entire community, including the Jewish 
 community."\n\nThe exhibit, created by the Bay Area PLEXUS Art Group, is 
 meant to encourage thought about the high rate of incarceration and how it 
 affects not only those who are imprisoned, but their children, spouses, 
 communities and society. Viewers are left to question how they can help 
 reduce the high rate of incarceration, support families of prisoners and 
 foster an ex-prisoner's re-integration into society. The PLEXUS Art Group 
 makes and exhibits fine art that addresses social and political concerns 
 directly impacting its members and the community at large.\n
