Graffiti Jesse by MysteriouSxDreameR on DeviantArt | jesse written in graffitiIn "Mark of Cain," Hazelip uses aureate paste, scrimshaw, and mixed-media paintings on copse salvaged from an alone prison, bond in graffiti and boom styles with admirable accomplished art techniques loaded with symbols. In an email account he abundant his use of allegorical animals:
"I chose the balderdash as representation of the captive because of the use of the beastly as activity (pulling plow) and as a article (meat). I draw the boner sections aloft the beasts as if they are accessible to be collapsed and divided. Each balderdash has markings, such as tattoos or branding, abundant like prisoners tend to acquire while incarcerated. The wolf references the prisoners' accustomed affection to anatomy packs, or gangs, in adjustment for self-preservation. The best belled gangs in North America were formed in prison, and the abandon consistently ends up seeping into the association outside. The vulture represents the arrangement itself. Adorned with a hunting hood, the vulture blindly preys aloft the anemic (young) and beneath advantageous (poor) and the few (minorities). I use the snake to call the aeon of abandon aural the Bastille Industrial complex. The ouroboros is the abiding return, and I use it to call the accepted accompaniment of our bastille system."

Jesse Graffiti by CoopMisanthropy on DeviantArt | jesse written in graffitiFor his Known Gallery show, which closes this Saturday, November 15, Hazelip created a mural with ashen easily cuffed together. Variations of this image, credible application duke signs, are afresh throughout the show. And for his aperture night, the artisan advised a armpit specific achievement in a 6'x9' box congenital from beaming lights, replicating a aloof bonds cell. During his performance, Hazelip was tattooed on his face by Huero of Heuro Tattoos. He explains:
"A facial boom is one of the arch statements a actuality can get--it sets you added alfresco of association than annihilation else--except a abomination conviction. The boom was done as arresting beef afresh bastille altitude and animal rights violations in U.S. jails and prisons.I came beyond the advertence to the mark of Cain in the book The New Jim Crow. It drew a allegory from the mark of Cain to actuality labeled a felon or a criminal. I chose to accept a adaptation of the mark tattooed on my face during my exhibition to beef the analysis of individuals disturbing with our arrangement that is advised for them to fail. It was my achievement that this act would accompany absorption to the plight of the bent that has already paid the debt to society, but still faces accurate obstacles to action already appear into society. For the exhibition I congenital a anatomy the admeasurement of the boilerplate aloof bonds corpuscle as a date for the tattooing. I chose to boom my face because of the asceticism associated with one's own face, and the abidingness of the average was a way of sacrificing my own adeptness to fit into the cachet quo, abundant like beneath arresting obstacles that prisoners face afterwards actuality credible by a abomination or the bent label."
Hazelip encountered imprisonment directly, spending a abrupt but abrupt time in San Francisco County Bastille on graffiti charges. In email he wrote:
"I've had endless encounters with badge due to my affairs choices, but I couldn't accept the analysis I was subjected to, abnormally on a irenic offense. The analysis of anybody throughout the processing procedures was acutely dehumanizing. I empiric abounding animal rights violations and aloft entering the capital bastille was told that I 'could disappear' if I acquired any problems. Admitting I was alone captivated for about 5 days, I was able to ascertain that there were acutely adverse issues aural the system. Racial bent was apparent, admitting that seems to be accepted knowledge, which is abstruse in an allegedly chargeless and according society."

The World's newest photos of jesse and pms - Flickr Hive Mind | jesse written in graffitiAs allotment of the aperture night's events, Hazelip had the San Diego-based Cholo Goth bandage Prayers play. Prayers' Rafael Reyes is a two-strike offender, and his music deals with the acrid burghal realities than can advance to incarceration. While Reyes credits his time in bastille with alteration his activity for the better, not abounding felons accept his options and opportunities.
Hazelip credibility out:
"Prison has become a way of warehousing (primarily) adolescent men of color, and afresh to added marginalize them aloft absolution --it's actual adamantine to get a job with a record. What solutions do you see--short- and long-term? There are affluence of programs that account prisoners central and out of prison. Unfortunately the allotment for such programs are bound and get cut out of budgets often. If we were to focus added on rehabilitation and blockage afresh we would see abundant beneath recidivism. Apprenticeship is such an accessible solution, yet we always carelessness our apprenticeship arrangement and armamentarium added heedless endeavors, such as war and weapons manufacturing. Prioritizing apprenticeship and activities for accouchement is the accessible foundation for befitting adolescent minds active and off the streets. Our administrative arrangement focuses mainly on the castigating access to incarceration and shuns rehabilitation. It is axiomatic that it is not acknowledged because of the calibration of our bastille system. Also the motives charge be analyzed as well, because the clandestine bastille industry is advancing behindhand of the abomination amount statistics. States are signing affairs with clandestine bastille entities that accept it accounting in that the ability charge be kept at 90-100% capacity. I acquisition it alarming that any bastille would appetite to accumulate their beds full, abnormally if there is a budgetary affective factor."
The United States has the accomplished incarceration amount in the world; with 5% of the world's population, the U.S. houses about 25% of the world's incarcerated. As of 2012, one out of every 35 adults in the United States is abaft bars, or actuality monitored via acquittal and parole. And as Hazelip says:
