A collage illustration shows the Corizon headquarters sign underneath three circular photographs of people. One circle features a young man, smiling. Another circle shows a woman posing next to a young man. In the third, a couple smiles against a backdrop of palm trees. Floating around these three images are cut-out pieces of text from a court filing that contains words like “bankruptcy,” “harm,” “wrongdoing” and “incarcerated people.” Red illustrated bars lay over a corner of the Corizon headquarters.
