Incarceration not only separates the imprisoned from their families and communities, it also exposes them to shocking levels of violence and sexual assault and subjects them to the arbitrary cruelties of the criminal justice system. Yet, as Nicole Fleetwood reveals, America's prisons are filled with art. Despite the isolation and degradation they experience, the incarcerated are driven to assert their humanity in the face of a system that dehumanizes them. Based on interviews with currently and formerly incarcerated artists, prison visits, and the author's own family experiences with the penal system, Marking Time shows how the imprisoned turn ordinary objects into elaborate works of art. Working with meager supplies and in the harshest conditions-including solitary confinement-these artists find ways to resist the brutality and depravity that prisons engender. The impact of their art, Fleetwood observes, can be felt far beyond prison walls. Their bold works, many of which are being published for the first time in this volume, have opened new possibilities in American art. As the movement to reform the country's criminal justice system grows, art provides the imprisoned with a political voice. Their works testify to the economic and racial injustices that underpin American punishment and offer a new vision of freedom for the twenty-first century"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Prisoners as artists |zUnited States. |=^A836201 650 0 Art in prisons |zUnited States. |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Art, American |xPolitical aspects. |=^A23438 650 0 Imprisonment |xSocial aspects |zUnited States. |=^A3043 650 0 Mass incarceration |xSocial aspects |zUnited States. |=^A1451676 650 7 Art, American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00815895 650 7 Prisoners as artists. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01077220 650 7 Prisoners |xRecreation. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01077187 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 949 |i30372017366441 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s39.95 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5489396
