Courthouse Confessions
"In their own words." Interviews and photographs of low-profile defendants as they leave the courthouse at 100 Centre Street in Manhattan.
Author: Steven Hirsch is a freelance courthouse photographer for the New York Post. He is also behind 100 Centre Street, a blog with photos of the more high-profile defendants who have business at the courthouse. Hirsch told Gothamist in August of 2008 that Courthouse Confessions is part of a "trilogy of crime" project: Love Thy Neighbor, a website featuring the homes of New York state registered sex offenders, and Evidence, a site featuring evidence photos from the murder trial of Peter Braunstein.
