The over two million men and women incarcerated in penitentiaries
and jails have become America's forgotten population. This
extraordinary anthology of autobiographical prison writings brings
the reader inside their silent and hidden world.
Culled from more than four hundred submissions nationwide, the
thirty-six pieces here represent works by a broad spectrum of
prisoners: young and old, unknown and infamous, minimum security
check forgers and death row inmates. The authors include notorious
"Preppie Murderer" Robert Chambers; an elderly truck driver who
strangled the woman he professed to love; and a gang member
recalling his violent street life. All talk in their own uncensored
words about themselves and their families, about their motives and
personal demons, about committing crime and doing time.
Just as this collection gives prisoners the rare chance to
communicate who they are and what went wrong, it also gives the
reader a unique opportunity to see convicts not as hardened
criminals but as human beings.
