The Cell Block is an independent multimedia company with the objective of accurately conveying the prison/street experience and lifestyle with the credibility and honesty that only one who has lived it can deliver, through literature and other arts, and to entertain and enlighten while doing so. Everything published by The Cell Block is created by a prisoner, while in a prison cell.
What we are trying to do is promote literary art from the prisoners to help them do their time while being productive & tell their story from an authentic perspective. These stories could possibly prevent a youth from getting caught up in the system by avoiding the mistakes the prisoners made to end up in their situation & to think about the consequences of their actions on the streets. This also provides youth that are already into the street life a way to interest them in reading & literacy so they could continue educating themselves with other topics & stories that pique their interests. It also shows them that anyone can be an author & that even the confines of prison can’t stop you from telling your story.
Mike Enemigo is the new prison/street art sensation who has already written and published several books. He is inspired by emotion: hope, Â pain; dreams and nightmares. He physically lives somewhere in a California prison cell where he works relentlessly creating his next piece. His mind and soul are elsewhere; seeing, studying, learning, and drawing inspiration to tear down suppressive walls and inspire the culture by pushing artistic boundaries.
