Prisoners' Inventions Book
Talk about ingenuity.. prisoners have come up with some of the most interesting, practical and sometimes horrifying contraptions. In 2001, and artists collective by the name of Temporary Services asked an incarcerated artist named Angelo to document some of the tools and inventions that inmates had learned to fashion. He responded with dozens of detailed schematics and explanations of objects that either he had made himself or seen while behind bars. The result was this intriguing collection of Prisoners' Inventions which features everything from salt & pepper shakers to sexual devices. For more info check out the product page [Here].
