Like an island in the middle of the sugarcane country of south Florida, Miracle Village (main) is a small religious colony of bungalow-style houses for people who were found guilty, and have usually served a prison sentence, for a sex crime.
Miles from the nearest town, the village was established in 2009 by the late evangelical pastor Dick Witherow as a place where sex offenders can live - alone or with their families - without judgement and repent their sins. Brooklyn-based photographer Noah Rabinowitz spent three days there studying the people and place, which he described as 'deeply religious, tight knit and strictly self-governed'. The parish (insets) offers classes on sexual purity and anger management.
