Purvis Young painted in prison. He once said that there were only two choices when he was in prison; lifting weights or painting. Purvis figured out that lifting weights would just get him ready for more jail time but painting could lead to a better life. We are all grateful he chose painting. Think of how many Purvis' there are in our prison system today. Programs like this one can help to find them. GL
