This site is devoted to art and writing by and about political prisoners. CJS features an online gallery, links to other political prisoner artists’ websites and political prisoner support groups, and downloadable writings and art with Tom Manning’s’ works alongside work by other political prisoners.

It was designed and hosted by the TUG Initiative at the People’s Free Space in Portland, ME. We are looking for more submissions for this website, so any support committees of political prisoner artists and writers can get in touch with us to submit art and writing.

 

Check out the video section to see a short film I put together around Tom Mannings Art show. The original show was hung at USM and then taken down by the university President. In response to that action there was a press conference. Following the press conference folks marched displaying the art and the show was hung up in another gallery.
