9 Examples of Awesome Prison Art



In an environment where you aren't under pressure to produce a product (though there are certainly other pressures) and there are no deadlines, artistic talent can be cultivated over time. Inmates who are inspired manage to turn out really nice works with limited materials, as you can see. The work shown is a mask made of soap by Cliff Towers, and is for sale. See eight other examples in the rest of the list. Link -Thanks, Danny!

Ernest Borgnine's strangest film has to be The Devil's Rain from 1975. He dons full Satan costume and makeup for this film and I have to say he looks pretty creepy...for a 70's flick anyway. It also starred John Travolta, William Shatner, Eddie Albert and Tom Skeritt. Here is the trailer...

I had met Ernest Borgnine many times over the years, and Eddie's article is right... he was the nicest person you'd ever want to meet. He always asked about you and he would really listen with intent, responding back with definite answers, not just an "uh... huh".

I didn't know that he was married to Ethel Merman once. It's no surprise that the marriage only lasted days... my memories of Merman were that she was not a very pleasant upbeat person.
