    Mar 5 2024

    Please follow and leave us a comment to let us know what you think. ⁠Click here to learn more.

    First up, we have Prison Blues, a second-generation vendor who defies convention by crafting garments from within the walls of prison. Prison Blues shares insights into the challenges and triumphs of creating fashion in a restricted environment.

    Our second guest is a former inmate who garnered attention for his daring venture into the world of prison fashion shows. Utilizing nothing but prison uniforms, towels, bedsheets, and scraps of material, he showcased his talent by sewing together intricate designs with dental floss and paper clips, pushing the boundaries of creativity within the constraints of incarceration. However, his act landed him in solitary confinement, labeled as "destroying state property."

    Together, our guests offer a glimpse into the intersection of artistry, resourcefulness, and resilience within the realm of prison fashion. Tune in as we explore the stories behind the stitches and uncover the profound impact of self-expression in the most unexpected of places.
