content: A color photograph of Lori Waselchuk photographing a quilt made by prisoner volunteers from the hospice program at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Waselchuk is depicted with her back facing the camera. She is wearing a grey, long-sleeved shirt and jeans. The quilt, positioned horizontally in front of her on a metal stand, is yellow with a burgundy border and the word "HOSPICE" along the horizontal borders. The center design features the hospice program's emblem: a pair of hands with open shackles, releasing a monarch butterfly. Beneath the emblem are the words “I’m free / No more chains / holdin’ me" followed by black silhouetted figures of men walking surrounded by musical notes. Waselchuk and the quilt are surrounded by lighting equipment in a room with a brown cement floor, plain white walls, and stacks of plastic and metal chairs against the wall to the left.
