Prisoners' Inventions

In 2001, the artists’ collective Temporary Services asked an incarcerated artist named Angelo to share with them the ways in which inmates adapt to their confinement. Angelo responded with Prisoners’ Inventions, a unique guide to prison life. The book covered subjects ranging from how to cook a grilled cheese sandwich in a locker to how to chill a soda using a toilet.




Temporary Services also made videos to accompany an entire exhibition of inventions made by prisoners in California.
