SHIV
Located in northeast Kansas, Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary opened in 1906 and was the nation’s first maximum security prison. Notable prisoners include “Machine Gun Kelly” and “The Bird Man”.
A shiv is a homemade knife-like tool fashioned in prison. Created behind unimaginable walls by desperate and resourceful people. Here is our interpretation. Suitable for cutting twine and slicing apples.
