American Prison Tattoos
An interesting project:
American Prison Tattoos: "According to a 2006 PEW Research Center report, almost 4 in 10 between the ages of 18 and 40 are tattooed. Tattoos may be becoming the norm but before their surge in popularity, tattoos were the province of society's outcasts: sailors, artists, carnies and outlaws – acting as roadmaps of their lives: who they were, what they had done, their loves, desires, their sorrows and pains."

Rapist, murderer, and satanist claims religious persecution - Boing Boing
Rapist, murderer, and satanist claims religious persecution - Boing Boing:
"Convicted rapist and murderer Irving Davis is requesting that a Texas appeals court toss out his death sentence. Why? He thinks it's unfair that jurors were informed that he's a Satanist. Apparently, the prosecutors showed the jury his satanic drawings, a copy of The Satanic Bible he kept in his cell, and also a 'grievance form that showed Davis complaining about being denied a gong, candles, chalice, black robes, a vial of blood and other items he said were needed to practice his religion.' From The Statesman..."
