Jail Finds is a flickr set of art found stuffed inside books by the account holder at the jail where they are a volunteer running the book cart.

Cool stuff. But, no files? (I guess those come in cakes, not books)

In the System, art is a form of currency.

from the link: "These are things I find abandoned in books or stuffed on the book cart at the jail where I volunteer." as for that sentence, i have no idea. "they" are a volunteer? account holder? these are mysteries without referent.

I like found art in general, and the fact that this stuff is from prisoners adds an extra layer of poignancy to a lot of the notes. Good link, thanks.

Another solid post from Jonson, though it lacked any reference to kiestering.
