"art: Nick Jehlen / resistant strains / maximum security democracy series" printed in the bottom right margin.

Poster printed with green and black ink on white paper. The page has a background of green lines in a geometric pattern similar to the pattern on the US one dollar bill. A large embellished border at center contains, "Guilty Until Proven Wealthy." An oval border with floral motifs appears at top left framing checks stamped with "Returned for Insufficient Funds 9/12/97." A similar oval border at bottom right contains a green fingerprint. Text across the upper right discusses that "the majority of women in prison are there for property crimes" and lists three statistics on women in prison. Text at bottom left discusses white collar crime's economic impact on the US economy and that "finding a white collar criminal in most prisons...would be no small task."
