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.

Inspired Words
When I'm writing, sometimes it gets to that place where I feel like the piece is writing itself and I'm trying not to get in the way. John Zorn
