On the cover
Jeffrey Alan Love's minimalist cover illustration, which accompanies the story ["Heart of Darkness,"}(http://hub.jhu.edu/magazine/2015/spring/is-solitary-confinement-ethical/) seeks to evoke the type of desolation prisoners experience when held in solitary confinement for extended periods of time. "By not showing the face on the cover, I hoped that viewers would be able to imagine themselves in that position, to put themselves in the prisoner's shoes for a second and experience that bleakness," he says. Love's art has also appeared in Time magazine, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and other publications.
