Prison art is art that is created by persons who are imprisoned.[1]
Prison art is unique in several ways. Due to the low social status of prisoners, art made by prisoners has not historically been well-respected.[2][3] The art, much like the prisoners themselves, is often subject to controls.[4][5] Art made by prisoners is sometimes valued,[6] or conversely sometimes sought to be actively destroyed.[7] Prisoners often lack common art supplies, and have been known to fashion supplies from materials at hand such as candy or instant coffee.[8]
