Tales of Elmwood

Elmwood's Most Wanted
Or, my ten minutes of fame in Santa Clara County jail, by Ethan Stray-han. Well, I figured I should write this all down, both for posterity and because a whole bunch of people asked to hear about my little experience this past weekend.

Getting Down in Lock Down
Hip Hop in the Elmwood Correctional Facility
Story by Amadaeus AKA Justin Collins, Art by Santos Shelton
If you want hard-nosed hip hop, your best bet might be going to the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, California as a felon. Here in "Lock Down" we get down. And I'm not talking melee.

History confined in jail
Elmwood jail and Milpitas have had a long and turbulent relationship. The jail has gone through several reincarnations: first as a rich man's mansion, then as a homeless shelter, and then a jail.

History of the O'Toole Elms and Elmwood Correctional Facility
Elmwood got its name from these stately Siberian Elms linking Main and Abel Streets. These were planted in the 1870s by John O'Toole along the driveway to his 20 room Victorian mansion.
