During a one-week residency over winter break, local artist Rodrigo Carapia worked with students at the detention center to transform a giant wall in the visitation room. 

Sunny Horizons was designed and created by former students who wanted to their family, friends, and advocates to experience the brilliance and resilience that is thriving within these walls. 

This was the first of many mural projects at the detention center, and this space was chosen due to its importance for students staying connected to family and community.
