Looking for Lodging? Here are options for people who are trying to pay under $100 a night. This does not reflect our recommendations necessarily. People have mostly rated all these hotels at 2 stars, but they are cheap for a reason and not sketchy overall.
The 40th anniversary of the Prison Arts Project is here! In 1997, the William James Association established the Prison Arts Project, which was adopted in the 80’s by the California Department of Corrections as Arts in Corrections. Founder Eloise Smith’s vision was “to provide an opportunity where a man can gain the satisfaction of creation rather than destruction… and to offer the professional artist as a model of creative self-discipline.”
