ART IN PRISON

5/22/2014

0 Comments

 
While at prison, I noticed a beautiful wall mural painted by the inmates. It was about
12 feet tall and 20 feet wide. It was a simple country scene with a rolling
landscape dotted with delicate flowers and slightly hidden animals. You had to
stop and look carefully to find the red fox, a cardinal, and a butterfly among
others. Wouldn't it be great if all of us could see our world the way those
inmates see it from inside a prison cell?
