Deviously Clever Prison Contraband

We've featured Temporary Services before, but we thought they deserved a full spread. In this post, we've included some of their How-To drawings and examples of recreated prison art.

Temporary Services is:

"... a project in collaboration with Angelo, an incarcerated artist. He illustrated many incredible inventions made by prisoners to fill needs that the restrictive environment of the prison tries to suppress. The inventions cover everything from homemade sex dolls, condoms, salt and peper shakers to chess sets."

Images of recreated prison inventions below (which were exhibited at MASS Moca at one time). Scroll all the way down for Angelo's How-To videos and drawings.
