Prison Pillows
Description: Prisoner marks off days on a cell wall. Holds a crayon and a cup of coffee and has a small window offering a glimpse of the outside - sun, birds, tree. For people who feel they are trapped in a prison - work, study, relationship - or maybe are in an actual prison. Keep counting those days.
Description: Johnny Cash wanted to stay "far from Folsom Prison," but his most dedicated fans may want to see the place where he performed the concert that changed the course of his career. Contrary to what some fans may think, Cash never did more than a night in jail, and definitely not at California's Folsom, but he identified with the inmates and "Folsom Prison Blues" cemented him as a kind of bad-boy icon. The prison itself is off limits to anyone who isn't visiting an inmate, but the nearby Folsom Prison Museum tells the prison's gruesome history and includes plenty of Johnny Cash memorabilia.
Description: Sing Sing Correctional Facility, formerly Ossining Correctional Facility, is a maximum-security prison operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision in the village of Ossining, New York. It is about 30 miles (48 km) north of New York City on the east bank of the Hudson River. Sing Sing holds about 1,700 prisoners and housed the execution chamber for the State of New York until the abolition of capital punishment in New York in 2004.
Description: This striking image illustrates an intense battle between an angel and a demon, where the angel is in a position of triumph. The angel, with flowing robes and large wings, holds a sword raised high, poised to strike. With a look of fierce determination, the angel holds the demon down by the neck, symbolizing the ultimate defeat of evil. The demon's face is twisted in anguish as it falls under the weight of the angel's might. Its horns and contorted body are contrasted with the serene yet powerful stance of the angel. The flowing lines of the angel's clothing and wings create a dynamic sense of movement, enhancing the drama of the scene.
Description: Joliet first hosted minor league baseball in 1890. The Joliet Convicts became members of the Independent level Illinois-Iowa League. In their first season of play, the Joliet Convicts placed 6th with a record of 56–59 in the eight–team Illinois-Iowa League. W.E. Buckley and Ed Culberson served as the Joliet managers as the Convicts finished 14.0 games behind the 1st place Ottumwa Coal Palace Kings in the final standings. The Joliet use of the "Convicts" moniker was in reference to local industry, with Joliet, Illinois being home to the Joliet Correctional Center beginning in 1858.
