Publisher's Synopsis

This powerful collection of poems, pictures, and stories was created by inmates at the Erie County Prison in Pennsylvania. Written and illustrated during their idle hours, the works offer a rare glimpse into the lives of men and women who are often forgotten and marginalized. Despite their difficult circumstances, the inmates display a remarkable resilience and creativity, using their art to express their feelings, hopes, and dreams. A moving and thought-provoking read that challenges our assumptions about crime and punishment.
