This large and colorful book profiles over 80 prison artists, reproducing hundreds of their works, many in full color. Among the inmate artists included are Paul Miller, Ronna Baer and Lino Delgado. Paul Miller has been imprisoned since 1981 and is currently serving his time at Ionia Maximum Facility in Michigan. He does portraiture and abstracts. “With my art, I give to others,” Miller says. Ronna Baer specializes in collage and mixed media art. She describes herself as “a self-taught artist and the mother of two.” Baer, who teaches art to other inmates, has been in prison for 23 years and is currently doing her time at the Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution in Florida. Lino Delgado focuses on fantasy art. He was born in Sinaloa, Mexico but spent most of his life in San Diego. “I concentrate on positive things in my art and hope it may serve to inspire youngsters.” The 35-year-old artist is currently incarcerated at Pelican Bay State Prison in California. In addition to the profiles of the artists and reproductions of their work, the book features a description of each work of art by its creator. In the descriptions, the artists reveal why the pieces were created and what they mean to them. An added feature of the book is the inclusion of prison poetry that follows the themes of the art. Also included is a bonus CD of 71 minutes of music made in prison. This is a book of beauty, of insight and of inspiration.
