1995705891995. Accompanied by a typed statement which is affixed to the bottom of the removable ceiling cutout: "This model is a replica of the actual cell here at San Quentin. The dimension of the cells are four feet one half inch wide eleven feet long and eight feet high. This model is built to scale of one inch per foot there sic approx fifty five square feet of living space in a cell. On death row only one inmate per cell but on the mainline there are two inmates per cell." Hand-painted and highly detailed the model measures 13 1/8" x 8" 4 3 / 4" and is composed of board tape and cellophane. The prisoner's bunk complete with blanket and pillow is situated below ventilation ducts and near a toilet sink and storage unit. A winter landscape photograph appears on one sidewall which can be viewed through a cellophane-covered window in the other. Opposite the back of the model are the prison bars including a swiveling cell door. Beneath the model is a label bearing Solomon's name his identification and cell number and the address for San Quentin. Undated it appears to have been created around 1995. An African American Vietnam veteran who worked as a handyman in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento California Morris Solomon Jr. was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder two counts of second-degree murder and five sexual assaults over the course of a year starting in 1986. Five of the victims were found buried outside the homes where Solomon lived or worked while the sixth was "discovered" by Solomon in a closet at a house where he had been working. At Solomon's sentencing Sacramento Superior Court Judge Peter Mering added on a sentence of 95 years to life to make certain Solomon could never win release if his death sentence was overturned. "I can imagine no one whose release would be more terrifying to the community of Sacramento than Mr. Solomon" the judge said. Solomon's conviction was affirmed by the California Supreme Court on July 15 2010. He remains on death row at San Quentin. unknown books

196844386New York: John Wilcock 1968. First Edition. Tabloid 43cm; photo-illustrated newsprint wrappers; 24pp; illus. Mild toning along spine-fold else a very Near Fine unfolded copy without postal markings. Though never as popular or widely-circulated as its brethren like The East Village Other and The Berkeley Barb nor as political as such radical-left undergrounds as The Black Panther and New Left Notes John Wilcock's Other Scenes probably deserves pride of place as the most daring creative and experimental of the alternative press papers of the late Sixties. It was also - probably a function of Wilcock's comparative maturity he was already in his late thirties in 1967 - far less reliant on the sort of psychedelic mish-mosh that defined the aesthetic of most other underground papers of the period. Described in the masthead as "a revolutionary newsletter concerned with art politics sociology sex and the creation of a more equitable society" Other Scenes was heavily influenced by both the Fluxus and mail-art movements as well as Andy Warhol's avant-pop aesthetic Wilcock was a regular Factory denizen. The paper operated as much as a virtual underground club for its subscribers as it did a vehicle for news distribution; according to the masthead of an early issue Wilcock distributed the paper "twenty times a year from wherever its editor happens to be" and his mailings often included "surprises" including "newsletters newspapers letters brochures and discoveries that I make in all parts of the world." Contents include contributions by Alan Solomon Julius Lester Ronald Willis Brenda Mull Don Peterson Jacques Zavrian and others with comix by R. Crumb and a "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" column by Charles Bukowski. John Wilcock unknown books
