This Online Group Shares Wholesome, Creative, And Illegal Things Made By Prisoners Behind Bars (35 Pics)
A prison is like a little city. It has a library, a beauty shop (which is just a fancy name for a hair cutting room), a medical wing, a rec yard... Of course, facilities vary from institution to institution, but if we exclude countries that have a different philosophy on incarceration altogether, most places are pretty similar.
So we're told. For the average person, life behind bars remains a mystery. And quite an intriguing one. How do people organize themselves under such extreme circumstances? What do they miss? How do they spend their days? A TV show, for example, might give us an idea but if we constructed our worldview based on what we saw on the screen, we'd end up like Truman Burbank. In an illusion.
Instead, let's take a realistic look at how inmates get by — the subreddit r/PrisonWallet is perfect for this job.

Prisoners From Indiana Were Given Cats To Look After As Part Of A Rehabilitation Scheme. Here Is One Prisoner With A Hat He Knitted For His Cat!

Imagine if we approached prisons as places to make amends, to heal, to gather resources (like education, connections, anger management) to go out after the sentence is done, and live differently. EVERYONE WOULD BENEFIT.

I think an important aspect of prison reform in the U.S. would be to start by remembering that prisoners are human beings. This picture says it all - look at the love he has for that lil' kitty cat!

"I'd, unfortunately, say one of the most common items to craft in a prison is a shank, [probably] due to how easy it is and the inadequate system of rehabilitating prisoners," a representative of this subreddit's moderator team told Bored Panda. "Many of them stick to crime or violence while inside of prison."
"Zip guns utilizing .22 ammunition are also popular because [the rounds] are easy to sneak in. Not to mention the fact that when you break down a gun to its bare bones, it's a simple machine that's quite easy to replicate."
However, we decided to leave guns out of the equation. We already know about them, plus there's so much more! "I [also] see a lot are tiny figures or artworks made of what is practically trash," the person running the subreddit added. "It allows prisoners to express their creative intentions while locked up."

We had a guy who had no money but would barter/trade greeting cards he painted with Skittles and M&Ms. Every time a holiday was coming around he'd set up at one of the tables with all his cards on display and guys would pay him in food items so they could send a nice card with Tweety Bird, Powerpuff Girls, Paw Patrol, etc to their loved ones.

As a former public defender, we called it "skittle art" and it was an honor to receive skittle art from an inmate.
Interestingly, in 2019, the U.S. incarceration rate fell to its lowest level since 1995, according to recently published data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the statistical arm of the Department of Justice. (It is not yet clear how the coronavirus pandemic may have affected these numbers as statistics for 2020 are not expected to be released until later this year.) But despite this downward trend, the United States still puts more people behind bars than any other country for which such data is available.
The American criminal justice system holds almost 2.3 million people in 1,833 state prisons, 110 federal prisons, 1,772 juvenile correctional facilities, 3,134 local jails, 218 immigration detention facilities, and 80 Indian Country jails as well as in military prisons, civil commitment centers, state psychiatric hospitals, and prisons in U.S. territories.

Perhaps what this sweet little toy so sad and poignant is was that it was made by a prisoner of war. Perhaps they had a family back home with children. Prisoner of war camps were often horrible and the prisoners were treated like they were inhuman. I think the little dog toy shows that despite so much pain and trauma that the POW may have gone through, they were still able to create such a sweet, little toy that represents happiness.
