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 Pfizer

Ian Read

Oversees a company engaged in:

  • AIDS profiteering

    Poor people with AIDS suffer and die globally because they can’t afford Fluconazole, a drug made by Pfizer who blocks affordable, generic Fluconazole, causing countless number of people with AIDS to die preventable deaths

  • Bribery

    Bribed doctors, hospital administrators, and regulators in several countries across Europe and Asia to prescribe medicines

  • Experimenting on children

    Tested a dangerous antibiotic on Nigerian children without receiving proper consent from their parents–then after settling some of the suits, hired investigators to dig up dirt on Nigeria’s former attorney general to get leverage in one of the remaining cases

  • Fraud

    Using fraudulent information, they encouraged doctors to prescribe drugs for ailments (and at doses) the FDA specifically declined approval for

  • Poisoning

    Illegally dumped PCBs and other toxic chemicals into the nation’s air and water for decades, also broke federal laws by not properly reporting an explosion which released hazardous substances and caused serious injuries

  • Price fixing

    Conspired to prevent generic versions of its cholesterol drug Lipitor from entering the market to protect billions in profits while making sure patients did not have access to more affordable options

  • Racketeering

    Marketed drugs as effective multiple times, for multiple diseases when they were, in many cases, even less effective than sugar pills

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.
