Society of the Incarcerated: Acknowledging the Voices of America's Ever-Increasing Prison Population
I just finished this excellent piece about teaching inside. Great work (in all senses of the phrase)! With our own 12-year-+ project, The Beat Within, I understand every frustration you described. We have been publshing a WEEKLY magazine of writing from behind the locked doors of about 50 units of juveniles in Bay Area juvenile detention facilities. Organically, the magazine has grown to incorporate writing from prisoners of all ages and institutions around the country. Check us out: www.thebeatwithin.org
