摘要：In this essay, the author reflects on his experience studying jail wall art and discusses its relevance to practice and scholarship. While the visual nature of jail wall art makes it a fascinating and informative area of academic study that also appeals to public audiences, the creation of jail wall art offers an implication for practice - that persons involved with the criminal justice system benefit from participation in the arts. The author's relationship with the art demonstrates that practice and scholarship can be informed using unusual sources of analysis. Photographs of some of the jail wall art are included.
