The Prisoner Wine Company is a wine brand that creates bold blends and even bolder labels. What’s more, the winery’s name and flagship label found inspiration in Spanish artist Francisco Goya’s The Prisoners, a series of etchings consisting of three pieces offering a critique of judicial torture depicting shackled and restrained men in stress positions.
In addition to the influence of Goya’s work, The Prisoner is actively involved in raising awareness and funding support for justice reform. Such efforts include supporting theEqual Justice Initiative, which provides legal representation to the illegally convicted, those serving harsh and unfair sentences, and the folks facing abuse behind bars. Last year, The Prisoner started a partnership with NBA player Moe Harkless to support bail and incarceration reform, and they also assist The Liberty Fund, NYC’s first citywide charitable bail fund.
