The Prisoner x Corrections
From the beginning, The Prisoner has embraced the power of art as a vehicle for change. Our flagship Red Blend features a Goya etching titled “Le Petit Prisonnier” from The Disasters of War, which was created as a searing response to the brutality of imprisonment during the Spanish War of Independence. It’s a history few recognize — but one that defined The Prisoner. Today, we continue to cultivate the powerful connection between art and advocacy through Corrections.
Launched in 2022, Corrections is an annual limited-edition release that merges art and wine to reshape cultural narratives surrounding those impacted by our justice system. Each label is created in partnership with an artist who has personally experienced incarceration, transforming every bottle into a powerful act of storytelling.
The name Corrections carries a dual meaning: it speaks directly to the prison system while also pointing to the possibility of progress and second chances.
Corrections serves as a canvas for those who have been through the system and emerged on the other side, elevating their stories and supporting their passion for art.
Driven by our commitment to use art as a canvas for advocacy, we are proud to continue our partnership with The Center for Art & Advocacy, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting justice-impacted artists. Through fellowships, residencies, exhibitions, mentorship, and professional development, the Center helps artists challenge the narratives and systems behind mass incarceration. Together, we’ve created a grant program that selects one artist each year to share their story, helping these important voices reach a wider audience and encourage meaningful conversations.
Corrections: Black Bird
For the fourth year of Corrections, we are proud to partner with artist and poet Omari Booker. His work is deeply rooted in the belief of "FREEDOM THROUGH ART." For Omari, art is a source of healing, a way to process experience and offer inspiration to others seeking their own sense of freedom.
This year's wine label features Omari's original piece, Black Bird, a work that acknowledges moments of confinement while standing as a powerful symbol of resilience and hope. Inspired by the black bird that visited Omari's window during his time in prison, the piece captures a sense of possibility and the inspiration he drew from glimpses of the world beyond his confinement.
To complement the message of Omari's work, our winemaking team has crafted a harmonious blend that evokes emotion and awakens the palate. Syrah forms the backbone of the blend, expressing flavors of ripe purple fruit accented by lively spice and vibrant blueberry notes.
5% of the proceeds from each bottle of Corrections sold will be donated to The Center for Art & Advocacy, in addition to a $75,000 direct donation to assist their work in supporting justice-impacted artists.
About The Artist
Omari Booker, multidisciplinary artist based in Nashville, Tennessee and Los Angeles, California, began his journey as an artist his senior year of high school at Montgomery Bell Academy. While attending Belmont University, Omari studied Mathematics and other more traditional curricula before he finally focused on studio art and graphic design. He later earned his B.S. in Graphic Design from Tennessee State University.
Oil paintings are Omari’s predominant medium, but mixed media including charcoal, ink, and found objects are essential building blocks of his work and are used to create finished pieces. Large scale work has been a constant creative outlet for Omari, and murals have also become a consistent part of his creative practice. Storytelling in the form of poetry, prose, and children’s books are also creative outlets.
Omari takes a process-oriented approach to his art, embracing it as a therapeutic modality through which he is able to express his passion for the freedom and independence that the creative process allows him to experience. His art is his personal therapy, and his desire is that those viewing it will have personal experiences of catharsis. The philosophy that undergirds Omari’s work is "FREEDOM THROUGH ART" and he aspires to create work that communicates to his audience their unique and intrinsic ability to be free.
