Cornelia Parker invited over 200 carefully selected individuals, many of whom have a connection to civil liberties and the law including almost 40 prisoners to stitch parts of the embroidery. The detailed pictures, emblems and logos that punctuate the text were stitched by highly accomplished members of the Embroiderers' Guild, a national charity that promotes and encourages the art of embroidery and related crafts, alongside embroiderers from the Royal School of Needlework and the leading embroidery company Hand & Lock.
