I worked at a local prison for a couple of years, and was always blown away by the inmates’ ingenuity and creativeness. They would always find a way to do what needed to be done, whether it be the guy who uses drink mix to make water colors or the guy who dries an orange peel to make into a shank. Good or bad, they found a way.
