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.

CEO of Monsanto

Hugh Grant

Oversees a company engaged in:

  • Monopolistic practices

    After decades of polluting the Earth with PCBs, dioxins, and harmful pesticides, they are now spending billions acquiring seed companies around the world, consolidating the entire food chain

  • Forced chemical dependency

    “Roundup Ready” crops are genetically modified to resist Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup — their herbicide intolerance spreads to neighboring crops and wild plants, locking farmers into a more chemical dependent farming system

  • Food contamination

    Contaminates the global food chain with genetically modified crops — though the long term health effects of eating GM crops are still unknown, they have denied consumers the right avoid them by spending over $46 million to squash efforts to require labeling of such foods

  • Reckless endangerment

    Marketed a genetically engineered hormone (BST) to make cows produce more milk — BST milk has been banned in Europe because it may cause breast, colon, and prostate cancers in humans

  • Collusion

    The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring foods are safe, sanitary and properly labeled — over the past decades, at least seven high-ranking employees in the FDA were employed with Monsanto

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.
