This chapter uses new demographic data and evidence about working methods and professionalization to explore the role of collective practice during incarceration. At Amache, the Silk Screen Shop provided a place of professional and social identity during a time when young adults were forced to forgo the independence that they might have expected before 1942, and when they were confined to small living spaces with their extended families. First-person accounts from workers express the importance of working at the Shop to their incarceration experience, which paralleled the significance of other organizations within the community. In addition to the added efficiency of a collective print-making practice, this group identity provided a certain amount of anonymity, and I argue that it enabled resistance to their circumstances.
