Description
"Background to Strange Fruit," is a work that could be used for other purposes besides its intended purpose, serving as the backdrop to "Strange Fruit." Strange Fruit is a work that was created in 2017. It was inspired to raise awareness of the high rates of suicides at the California Institution for Women (CIW), and features a woman prisoner, dead and lifeless, hanging from her prison cell.
This work is the headline article to the 2018 reporting by Darealprisonart, "WRONGLY CONVICTED DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED NEAR DEAF-MUTE NEEDS LEGAL HELP." The article features Ivan Warren, an illiterate, developmentally disabled, near deaf-mute, schizophrenic, California State prisoner who was wrongly convicted. Warren now awaits a new hearing.
