In the 1980s alone, some 100 periodicals were published by and for
inmates of America's prisons. Unlike their peers who passed their
sentences stamping out licence plates, these convicts spent their
days like reporters in any community - looking for the story. Yet
their own story, the lengthy history of their unique brand of
journalism, remained largely unknown. In this volume James McGrath
Morris seeks to address the history of this medium, the lives of
the men and women who brought it to life, and the controversies
that often surround it.
