Though ancient and draconian, it still seems the treatment of prisoners there was far better even without modern medicine and protective constitutions. The enduring stay in prison was seldom in years, and it was not conducted or executed for profit like the American system here and now. Punishment was clear and defined. The net result was not prolonged torture just so political insiders can profit off lucrative contracts for substandard food and medical services, and infrastructure maintenance. The bonus: it had cells with nicer views.

This painting depicts a woman standing alone with a window and prison bars. She wears a trendy red coat that misrepresents her means, suggesting she can afford the cost of the pictures, calls, videos, and visits required to communicate with an incarcerated loved one. But she can’t, and the emotional price is heavy. The pain, loneliness, and helplessness on her face as she looks at the remnants of her loved ones prints on the wet and dirty window in the visiting room is a testament of the burden carried. Posing the question: Who is really in Prison?

Left Panel: The private companies, personified by six Titan-like figures, pull the prisoner in the center panel by cords attached to the services or products that they sell. Six were chosen intentionally to elude to man’s most corrupt form: 666. The blue background represents law enforcement.

He is the model of the “jail-rich” prisoner who has all the material goods needed to do a comfortable bid, and yet the starkness of the dingy white cell and its toilet and sink unit are a reminder of his actual condition. Money pours in from the right panel from loving family members’ hands.

Seven women of differing nationalities are expressing support in varying forms from prayer to visits. The seven stand in holiness as those that uplift their incarcerated loved ones and resist the profiteers who threaten to break-up their families. The red background underscores the passion and blood in the scene. In the end, the colors of the American flag are inverted, the mark of a backward system.

Founded in 1991, Union Supply Group is a privately-owned California-based company that provides low-quality and over-priced commissary goods to state, federal, and county corrections institutions in the United States. The company’s main customers are supporters, friends, and loved one's of incarcerated people, who hail primarily from low-income communities. The millions of dollars exploited annually from this targeted cross-section of our society should be considered unjust, immoral, and a shame.

We can no longer have money sent to us at the prisons we reside in; instead, it must be sent to JPay in Florida. Although they’ll process our money orders for free, they take weeks to do it while pressuring our friends and families to use the other deposits methods: a credit/debit card transaction via phone, internet, or phone app with a fee. This piece addresses JPay’s routine practice of holding our money orders hostage to force the use of the options from which they can profit. It represents their deposit sheet/flyer as a “ransom note,” around which I explore its subtexts whose overall message is clear: Do not use the money order (free) option, it takes too long; pay us and we’ll deposit it immediately!

The people on the conveyor belt are indistinct except by color, because this is how we’re seen—nameless, faceless objects used to achieve this end. With a courtroom wall inscription that reads: “In God we trust,” they claim to do what they’re doing “in God.” Ironically, I wasn’t allowed to wear a religious necklace during trial, but perhaps that’s because in court, money is God. As a wise man said, “you can’t serve God and money.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539140361627-IQT2JG8CWI5LPUQW5NRO/39A+-+J.+McGiboney+-+Editted.jpg Capitalizing on Justice Transient Passage Prison has become a capitalistic animal, figuratively and literally, as it drives wedges between families and their incarcerated loved ones. A previously bustling train station now sits vacant, devoid of the family and friends who once visited the incarcerated, but whose resources are now too tapped to continue making the trips. Their exploitation by for-profit corporations have left the incarcerated mourning over the cloak and dagger injustices these profiteering industries impose upon our urban communities.

Drawn in 1854, the cartoon shows Russian gentry seated around a table gambling in a card game. In lieu of money, the men wager serfs. A crowd of “noble” men and women as well as military figures stand watching in the background. For my version, I drew a judge, a police officer and a man and woman who represent lawyers and other officials involved directly in the conviction and exploitation of prisoners and our families. The card game emulates those that happen in prison everyday but this one was adopted by the oppressor. The serfs are replaced with prisoners bundled together. Their facial features are left unresolved to illustrate how we are marginalized into a generic formula for use by the “powers that be” to decide what makes more profit. The judge slams down his last card enthusiastically, much like he does his gavel. In the end, we are mere chips in a game meant for others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539140098354-GEE1QGZCSP5ZYU7K2HG1/30+-+D.+Hooker+-+Editted.jpg Capitalizing on Justice Capitalizing on Justice This piece is part of my broader work on the existential threat of the wide spread use of medication inside of America’s prison. In the foreground, there are wholesale boxes, not for retail, of psychotropic medications from pharmaceutical giants like Merck (“Murk”), Pfizer (“Fizer”), and Biogen (“Biojen”). In the background, there is psychiatrist Dr. Freud harassing a nurse while being offered kickbacks from big pharma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539199636553-E10IIYTKADI383XIZ7AM/23B+-+R.+Dansby+-+Editted.jpg Capitalizing on Justice Tray of Golden Eggs The criminal legal system is a goose that lays eggs—each a prisoner, family member, or community adversely affected by the capitalization of justice. Once hatched, they each become a part of the nuclear system, so that even when released they keep coming back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539141021197-6SPCGQYKSG92W1DMECJC/23A+-+R.+Dansby+-+Editted.jpg Capitalizing on Justice Fist Holding Money This piece came to me while looking at George W. Bush face on the Dollar Bill. The thought of him and Dick Chaney investing in private prisons captures the capitalization of justice. The golden power fist holds the money to be made in prisons. I have been locked in solitary confinement for over 25 years with limited access to the outside world. Despite my obvious indigency, I am tapped financially for music, calls, food, and more. I even pay a medical co-pay to McKesson Pharmaceuticals, the company that will also provide the drug to execute me.

In response to every legal brief I submit, at least three assistant district attorneys are assigned to oppose me. Not only must I stand against the vast wealth and man-power of the district attorney’s office armed with only a typewriter, but my incarceration also appears to guarantee employment for this litany of lawyers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539140189298-SCN7S1FYGOA85NMCZ9TV/28+-+A.+Sampson+-+Editted.jpg Capitalizing on Justice The Journey This piece speaks to all I have experienced and seen in my journey of incarceration. The yellow brick road symbolizes the path we have chosen in life. We as human beings have choices and face the consequences that follow our choices. At times, we create tornados of hell for ourselves, trying to then escape them during judgement or, worse yet, once in prison. But the mind dies here; anger, frustration, despair burns like a fire that destroys one’s self and everything in her path. Meanwhile, the system only cares about money, not the lives that it destroys and even murders. They cannot deem a person innocent because the innocent cannot be commodified. So, they pull babies from mothers and sell them at adoptions. We’re left behind to just survive.

Some well-known and others unknown, people sacrificed so that we could live fuller lives free from the commodification of our own bodies. And still the fight continues. Particularly as a bi-racial person, my respect goes to all those—black, white, Latino, Asian, and more—who fought or are fighting whole-heartedly for change.

Like in Vegas, the machine is designed to take more than it gives. My brother, Joe, did 10 years and was released without a home to go to or a job to earn money. He lost everything during his incarceration, so when he got home he lived on the streets. He moved around from city to city to try to get on his feet, but they ended up finding his body on the street a few months ago. The system just chews us up and spits us out. The take everything possible from us and our families. My daughter spends what she could be saving to go to college to communicate with me through JPay and ICSolutions, while the IDOC is spending millions to build yet another prison. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539186376156-DTKS5JBGLNMO3UUJY2TQ/31C+-+J.+Shine+-+Editted+7_5.jpg Capitalizing on Justice Time for a Change Locked away from the public’s eye are the convicted masses society has failed with misdirected funds. They are hidden away and confined in a dark world, a colorless world where, like animals, they are sometimes forced to fight for basic, but seldomly met, mental and physical needs. We should be investing in rehabilitative programs and traditional education informed by applied social science instead of fueling the for-profit prison industry—a booming farce. It’s time for a change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539186420498-80FF1J99AEJG2QBG9GXL/38+-+M.+Edwards+-+Editted+7_5.jpg Capitalizing on Justice State of New York Justice Done on a standard-issue legal folder, this piece aims to depict an image emanating from the bench of a New York State courtroom. The “justice” system has replaced our educational system, betraying our children, disproportionately minority children, for money. Too many investments are made into our young people’s futures once crimes are committed, but few before. Instead of investing in our children in their youth, we’ve fast-tracked them to prison to grow up. Judges are selling New York’s youth to the prison industrial complex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539186542969-XCCS4869SLWWWIAB3AJ4/46B+-+M.+Tenneson+-+Editted+10_8.jpg Capitalizing on Justice O Say, Can You See With over 2.3 million people in prison nationwide the “land of the free” is not quite that.

But on what? It’s hard to believe judging by the food we are served, the clothes we are provided, and the healthcare we receive. Add to that how much is made off our free labor; we save the system millions every month by running all basic operations from food service to clothing manufacturing. Basically, everything need within the prison is created or provided by us. So, why $80 billion? To line the pockets of politicians and finance their domestic and international wars.

I am currently in administrative segregation (“ad seg”) where I spend 23 hours a day in my cell. I’m allowed a five-minute call every 90 days, which runs roughly $20. So, I write letters, but I must borrow pens, paper, envelopes, and stamps from the state. I carry the debt on my account, which means that any time I get a fund transfer, it disappears immediately. Here is the inside view of my solitary cell door. Two windows look onto the tier where staff escort other prisoners. But the real show happens in the slot below them. Everything passes through the slot: mail, clothes, commissary, food, light. Today, my mom deposited $10. After they garnished my account, I only had enough to buy a bar of soap. In shock, I dropped the pen I needed to sign the purchase order. If I want to feel human emotion beyond the wall carvings of those who held this space before me, I’ll borrow again. Pens and paper will cost you, sometimes even the relationships you’re trying to protect.

She does her money dance with a get money scheme at play. The only equality that she delivers from her rugged scales is that she will incarcerate the unborn, born, men, women, and children, together and separate. When she does her money dance it turns on every corporation in America. Just in case exploiting prisoners wasn’t enough, she has a sick get money remix to exploit the loved ones of prisoners as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539187967440-Q07FERPF2FCP3D0Z4VV6/11A+-+L.+Little+-+Editted+4_3.jpg Capitalizing on Justice Make America Hate Again This illustration depicts the President’s overarching message: systematic oppression fueled by white supremacy and protected by the NRA.

One arm hangs outside of his cell with the word “worthless” tattooed on the forearm because outside of the cell, he is worthless to the system—he has no value. The other arm, with the word “commodity” tattooed on the forearm, is inside the cell because there he is a commodity for the system. He holds an envelope addressed to the parole board with his hope to return to society. But, it’s been returned because the parole board won’t evaluate him on who he is now, just his past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539187720066-42X7PUI4PEJ33R9CF24R/33+-+E.+House-Hay+-+Editted+4_3.jpg Capitalizing on Justice In God We Trust Though the Department of Corrections skims some off the top, money falls freely for psychiatric medications for prisoners. It’s easier and cheaper to drug than to heal. Accompanied by a host of faceless administrators who sit silent and complicit behind the observation glass, the chairman supervises the excessive prescription of medications that drain the life out of prisoners into sewers where demons live. With money fueling this cycle, we must ask: Is it in God’s name we dole out justice and in “God we trust” to reform us or do we trust the corruptible promise of soulless bills? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e127cb1b10e31ed45b20f4/1539188088219-8POVICJYW7BZ6AKLES7Y/48B+-+E.+Tedana+-+Editted+4_3.jpg Capitalizing on Justice #WeAllBleedTheSame This work speaks to the dehumanization of incarcerated people and the currency of suffering that keeps this wasteful system full.

He is the Detroit Pistons owner and billionaire Founder and CEO of Platinum Equity, a private equity firm that owns one of the largest, most predatory prison telecom corporations in the U.S. — Securus. Through Securus, Tom Gores exploits millions of incarcerated people and their loved ones by routinely charging as much as $25 for a 15-minute phone call. Securus rakes in more than $700 million annually by price-gouging families — disproportionately Black and Brown — while forcing one in three families with an incarcerated loved one struggling to stay in touch into debt. And the pandemic and economic fallout has worsened this abuse.
