    Hi Lucy,
    I’m not aware of any, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. You may want to try contacting the folks at Wings Ministry (www.WingsMinistry.org). I know they were recently collecting donations of artwork created by prisoners to use in an auction, and they are pretty well-connected to all of the prison-oriented work going on throughout NM. It also might be worth checking with Carlos Contreras, whose contact info you can find in the listing for JustWrite, above. I’d be curious to hear what you find!
