Would you buy that?

It’s an amazing work of craftsmanship, created in a jail by an inmate for commissary money . What is fantastic is that it has been made with what is available in the jail.

“That ship in the bulb is the sum total of a wasted life,” the seller told me. “He was acting like a fool and killed a man. He was 17 at the time and will be 47 before he comes up for parole. 30 years of making ships in a bulb. Very sad.”
