This Article appeared in the UK’s Dail Mail.
Inside the tiny town built for sex offenders: The spiritual ‘safe haven’ in Florida where 200 criminals and their relatives live side-by-side
- Miracle Village, just outside Everglades in south Florida, was established in 2009 by the late evangelical pastor Dick Witherow
- Borne out of religion, it is place where registered sex offenders can live without judgement and repent their sins
- Many offenders find it near impossible to find housing in Florida, where they are not permitted to come within 1,000 feet of children
- Brooklyn-based photographer Noah Rabinowitz spent three days in the village capturing the people who live there
- Rabinowitz says he was more interested in capturing a self-governed society, rather than what had brought them together
