I don't suppose a correctional institution is the best place to house priceless art 🤷🏻♀️

Rikers Island is technically a jail, not a prison. Jail and Prison are often used interchangeably, but they serve different purposes. The key difference: jails are intended for short sentences and temporary confinement while prisons are for felony sentencing longer than a year.

Ken, I wouldn't mention this otherwise, but the art that is the subject of the question has to do with Christ: your remark is one of the most common misquote of scripture. The correct phrase is "the love of money is the root of all sorts [kinds in some translations] of evil"

when it comes criminals in correctional facilities, the guards are only outweighed by inmates as their are far more inmates than guards. For the most part, they're all up to no good!

it's sad that money can get good people to do almost anything. The root of all evil 😈

Uninitialized, It would seem it was an excellent choice, until it was moved to an area not accessible to the inmates.

Uninitialized, perhaps the lesson of correctional institution is to learn correct way to commit crime.
