The Art of Change
This is where our journey begins. Get to know our business and what we do at CELLBLOCK 9 ARTISTRY at Degenerate Nation. We want to help current prisoners and parolees and other underserved members of society make a living using their creative talents or at least supplement it by giving them a side hustle. Inmates and parolees, and psych ward patients ECT. can submit their art to us to sell on consignment in our online gallery and exhibitions we hold periodically. The split is 60% goes to the artist and 25% goes into payroll for the members we have on staff. the remaining 15% goes into building up the Nation through marketing and upgrading our equipment.
It is a well known fact that if you can make a living doing something you love and enjoy it is a lot less like work. You have a purpose and something to take pride in and build up on. Prisoners finding a career they love are less likely to return to crime when they have a full filling career using their creativity.
