270pp. In publisher's shrink wrap. Laminated printed light card covers. With an introduction by the author as he seeks to address the history of jailhouse journalism. 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 correctional journalism, remained largely unknown.
