Publisher Description: In a time of increasing mass incarceration, US prisons and jails are becoming a major source of literary production. Prisoners write for themselves, fellow prisoners, family members, and teachers. However, too few write for college credit. In the dearth of well-organized higher education in US prisons, noncredit programs within this volume share a belief that writing represents a form of intellectual and expressive self-development in prison, one whose pursuit has transformative potential. |
