Prisoners' Inventions: MacGuyver meets the prison system
Prisoners' Inventions is a small-press book comprising an illustrated guide to the ingenious folk-art-cum-contraband manufactured by artisans in America's prison system, from toilet-roll chess-sets to this "water lighter." This stuff makes a joke out of MacGuyver and Gilligan's Island's Professor -- (often) brilliant inventions, refined by thousands of inventors who have necessity in plenty, and passed folklorically from one prisoner to another. posted by Cory Doctorow

Makes you wonder what they think of these days to escape prison...if they'd even ever want to do that.
Oh wow. hmmm.
