  People who are incarcerated are among the most marginalized groups in our society, and their lives—and their experiences with infectious diseases—are often unseen behind the walls of prisons and jails. Flying or Dying, the cover art for this supplement issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, was created as part of a 2022 exhibit named “Can You See Me?” and organized by SkyART, a nonprofit organization that provides art programs and creative arts therapy for young artists in Chicago’s South and West Side communities. Since 2018, SkyART has worked in youth detention centers in the Chicago area, including several facilities operated by the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice.
