The end result is often fatal. The individual prisoners featured here in this painting were all friends of Suave’s, and each received a life sentence. Tragically, every man depicted here died while in prison because they did not have the $5 to cover the service charges to see a doctor. “No matter where you are – no one should be denied medical treatment for the lack of $5.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRBG is a hero of the Suave’s.

The struggles his people faced over 150 years ago is eerily reminiscent of the profoundly complex and painful circumstances of the artist’s life as a wrongfully incarcerated prisoner.
