Synopsis "Perspectives From the Cell Block"
Author, college professor, social and prison reform advocate Dr. Joan Parkin has spent the past 10 years amassing this compelling compilation of prisoner stories. From advocating for death row prisoners in Illinois, to co-founding the Incarcerated Student Program for Feather River College in California, Parkin has devoted her life to the upliftment humankind by shedding light on the darkest corners of the penal system. As stalwart supporter of the prison newspaper, the Mule Creek Post, she created the Social Justice Prisoners Journalism Club, providing college interns for the paper. She is also leading the way toward establishing the Post as a nonprofit corporation, enabling grant and foundational support. The true-life experiences depicted in this anthology convey the innermost thoughts, feelings and emotions that prisoners so many times lock away in those deepest recesses of the human psyche. As the late U.S. Supreme Justice Thurgood Marshall so eloquently wrote: “When the prison gates slam behind a prisoner, he does not lose his human quality; his mind does not become closed to ideas; his intellect does not cease to feed on a free and open interchange of opinions; his yearning for self-respect does not end; nor is his quest for self-realization concluded.”
