Est-ce que c'est un cadeau fait par un détenu?

My comment:

Yes it is actually an expression which refers to gifts made by a prison inmate (there are programs which exist in many prisons where inmates participate in ''giving back to the community'' as part of their rehabilitation). They ofetn do this by making various objects which are then sold/given as gifts.
