I had the opportunity to tour a closed prison close to home, the Ohio State Reformatory. Some prisoners would carve away layers of wall paint to "decorate" their cell.

Then some Hollywood types would carve away for a movie.

Prison art? Holmesburg Prison here in Philly, you'll find some real art there! Wish I could get in there and take a few pics!
