Prisoners Draw Portraits Of Rich And Famous People Who Really Belong In Jail
For over a year, Jeff Greenspan and Andrew Tider asked prison inmates to draw portraits of CEOs, executives and other powerful people who committed crimes against the environment, economy and society and yet haven’t served any time. The powerful project is called “Captured: People in Prison Drawing People Who Should Be.” Alongside the portraits, “Captured” lists the crimes perpetrated by the pictured and the artist.
