Prison writing has a long and illustrious history in the United States - home of the modern correctional system. From poems, to stories, to novel excerpts, to reportage, to personal essays - and a few drawings - this title depicts what can happen to people who are given, 'a chance to live'.

Includes poems which are a sociopolitical, cultural conglomeration of thoughts, reflections, observations, and experiences. This title depicts the dichotomy of being true to one's culture and language, while taking advantage of the educational opportunities.
