Just curious to see what different approaches some of you have used in getting access to American Prisons.  Some suggestions I have heard and/or tried include partnering with a non-profit, proposing it from an "artistic" angle, using city council members and other local politicians for leverage, etc…  In particular, I am interested in hearing about how press credentials (or lack there-of), or magazine/agency backing affected the outcome…



I have already taken some steps on my own, but ultimately, any and all insight is much appreciated…



Easy,

Sam
