People in prison drawing people who should be

For over a year, we asked people in prison to paint or draw people we felt should be in prison–the CEOs of companies destroying our environment, economy, and society.

Here are the results. Click on the images to see the crimes committed by both the companies and the artists.

We present this project to help expose crimes masquerading as commerce.

The book is currently sold out.

In 2016, 1,000 hardcover books (shown above) sold out in one week. All profits went towards efforts to elect Bernie Sanders as president, since holding corporations responsible for their crimes, reforming the criminal justice system, and removing corporate control over government were pillars of his campaign.
