Grievances (from incarcerated people)

An illustration with a pale yellow background shows, at center, a woman in an orange prison uniform with her right hand on her stomach. She is writing a grievance on sheets of paper that are flying over her head. Over one of the pages is the word "Reject." On the upper left corner, there is a drawing of FCI Aliceville, a prison. On the lower right corner, this is a view of two floors of prison cell doors, with a set of stairs leading up to the second floor. Scattered around the illustration are gray and orange blocks and shapes, and over the entire illustration, there is a grid made up of thin light purple lines.
