20 Times Prisoners Surprised Everyone With Their Unique And Slightly Illegal Creations
Every prisoner will tell you that being stuck behind bars leaves you with an abundance of free time. And while some choose to spend that time reading or working out, others like to unleash their artistic side – although having limited access to resources means they have to get pretty creative.

From dumbbells made from old batteries to entire electric guitars, check out all of the unique things that prisoners managed to create behind bars in the gallery below!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
