"This theatrical piece invited us to listen to the voices of present day prisoners through small
speakers installed in the bricks of the cell like walls, referencing the fact that the cellar bricks were
made by convicts. Inmates had been invited to telephone an answering machine set up by
Furmage to give their opinions on the police. The result was a fragmented litany of complaints.
Subtle it wasn't, but this excavation of repressed voices - A form of radical oral history - Was
extremely timely."
