Does prison hinder artistic expression?
You might find the answer through these artworks created by prisoners.
We have invited detainees to share their interpretation of music and express their creativity by creating artworks using all the existing techniques accessible to them.
These creations stem from the talent of individuals incarcerated in various prisons around the world.
We manage communication with penitentiary authorities, states, as well as logistical aspects such as transportation, reproductions if necessary and providing proof of purchase and authenticity.
The full name of the detainees is disclosed only upon their request. It is possible that they may prefer to remain anonymous.
A portion of the amount is distributed to the victims according to the percentage determined by the judge.

To prevent multiple transports and risks of damage, the artworks are not shipped before the 14-day withdrawal period expires.
For security reasons, no artwork is stored at the FFMusique headquarters or its branches.
Paintings, documents, and other items are securely kept by specialized storage providers. Also, an additional period of 4 to 5 days is required to prepare the artworks, perform quality checks, certifications and secure packaging. More information about the program: Maison d'ar[rê]t
