This piece came to us from Johnny in Florida. Like many artists behind bars, Johnny uses his creativity to process life, express what words can’t, and stay connected to the world outside. Every detail speaks to the heart about what it feels like to be disconnected from the outside world.
Art like this reminds us: Beauty thrives even under the harshest conditions.

if we like an artist work from prison, how do we communicate with him? I guess you don’t provide their information if we wanted to write them a letter and be a penpal
Hi Tony, Absolutely! Please email info@adoptaninmate.org and we’ll put you in contact with Johnny.
