Artists Protest Tamms Supermax Prison with Mud Stencils
Last Saturday in Chicago, local artists partnered with the Tamms Year Ten coalition to protest state-sanctioned torture at the supermax prison in Southern Illinois. And they did it with mud.
Prisoners… are held in permanent solitary confinement, and never leave their cell except to shower or exercise alone in a concrete pen. Their is no communal activity, no contact visits, no phone calls, an no educational or rehabilitative programming… The supermax was designed to be a short-term shock-treatment, but one-third of prisoners have been held indefinitely since the prison opened over ten years ago.

he wished he knew her
her skin smelled like lavender
he kept on walking
red line
train brakes scream and slow
next stop chicago and state
i move toward the door
How could you not like a party that kicks off with a parade and ends with a shopping cart in a tree?
