Inside/Out - Prose and Poetry from America's Prisons

Abstract

All extremes of humanitarism are reached whenever one finds a paper such as INSIDE/OUT, which consists of literary pieces written by prisoners. Of course one would like to get a $ 5.00 - a - year subscription and h el p "those poor fellows T o lead a more decent life". At least that's, what I thought, as I got the first issue of t his Time Capsule Magazine, which I did not expect t o be good. And there's where my mistakes began. All four short-stories and five poems proved to be the best sort of artistic ingenuity, expressive in form and genuine in feeling.
