Angelo’s List of Books Read in Prison in 2010
Angelo is an artist who is currently incarcerated in a maximum security prison in California. He is a voracious reader, however, nearly everything he reads comes from either the prison library or other inmates. Even if one had the resources to buy a lot of books, the amount of personal property that inmates can retain in prison is extremely limited. These lists that Angelo assembles each year document not only what he has read, but convey the range of books that some American prisoners have access to in the institutions.
Hopefully this list will be Angelo’s last from prison as he is due to be released soon. More of Angelo’s book lists can be seen on this page and his drawings can be found here.
A ballpoint pen drawing from 1998 by Angelo titled Crowd Control. Many people have seen Angelo’s drawings as part of the ongoing project Prisoners’ Inventions. Prisoners’ Inventions is a collaboration between Angelo and the group Temporary Services, (I am a member of this group). The vast majority of Angelo’s art production is more fantasy-oriented, or steeped in history and his imagination. Most of Angelo’s drawings, including this one, are simply ballpoint pen on 8.5 X 11” paper.
This month, after over two decades in prison, Angelo is going to be released. I’ll be scanning more of the drawings he has made in prison, which he has been sending me for safe keeping, in an effort to better circulate his amazing work. You can see additional drawings like this on this Flickr page.
