If the artist was an inmate, he certainly could've made an honest living painting...

They used to have a band comprised of prisoners who would broadcast on the radio on Sunday in the 1940's and 1950's.

Just a guess here...but I think the painting is of one of the saints. Staints are often depicted like this is pictures.

I too think this is a painting of a
Saint...the skinny door is actually big...the door slides on rollers so is only partially opened..Loved all these pictures and the perserving of history.

If it is truly the office of a Roman Catholic Priest (chaplain) it was most likely either the Pope at the time or the Cardinal/Archbishop of whatever Archdiocese the prison was located in.

It could be Saint Leonard of Noblac, patron saint of prisoners.
