Summary:
In prison, the tattoo stakes a claim to individuality. In "Prison Tattoos", Douglas Hall Kent uses his camera as a sociologist's tool, photographing inmates from America's prisons whose tattoos, professionally done and homemade, indelibly imprint on their bodies what these men desire in their souls: autonomy and identity. Includes 80 pages of photos and a page of temporary tattoos.
