In Songs from the Hole, a man convicted of murder when he was a teenager finds healing in music during his sentenceIn 2014, a sergeant at a California state prison sent James “JJ’88” Jacobs, who was 25 at the time, to “the hole” – solitary confinement in a 6-by-6 cell. One bunk, one strip of a window. Jacobs had already been incarcerated for a decade by then; at 15, he was given a double life sentence for second-degree murder. Alone in the hole, Jacobs thought, as he always did, about the most devastating month of his life, April 2004: on the 16th, he shot and killed a fellow teenager outside a nightclub in his home town of Long Beach, California. Three days later, another young man shot and killed his beloved older brother Victor. For years, Jacobs was caught in a terrible cycle of grief – for what he had done, for what had been done to him.In the hole, Jacobs would lie on the floor, eyes closed, and imagine his life outside prison. He’d make beats by pounding on his bunk or chest....

4 d. ago ‘The Cadillac, the shadow, the LA sky – it was all laid out for me’: Phil Stockbridge’s best phone picture

The California-based photographer was working on a commercial shoot when he came across this sceneHis usual way of taking photos, Phil Stockbridge says, is like an angler waiting for a fish. The LA-based photographer had been working on a commercial shoot on the day he landed this image. “When I find something interesting to shoot, the main thing that starts to churn in my brain is light and composition. A lot of the time the subject’s missing and I’ll sit and wait like a fisherman for the right person or car to make the image. Luckily, for this scene, it was all laid out for me.”Stockbridge believes this to be a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, and notes how he was drawn by “the shadow of a parking sign, the street lamp in the distance, the LA sky, a slouched fence and the edge of the sidewalk.
