Description: A dramatic painting of a woman falling, her prison uniform shirt being ripped by a pair of handcuffed arms. Her arms are outstretched, one is being pulled down by another cuffed hand. The other is reaching toward the sky, a single shackle hanging from her wrist. There is a pair of arms reaching down from the sky, there are wounds in the center of the palms. In the background there is a tall barbed wire fence and a strike of lightning striking a white guard tower in a stormy and grey sky.
