In these troubled times, here is a rare bit of good news!

"In a special initiative, #PenguinPress and the #PenguinRandomHouse Social Impact Team are partnering to print 2,000 copies of a unique softcover edition of THE JAILHOUSE LAWYER, exclusively for incarcerated readers. Recognizing that hardcovers are often prohibited in prisons so access to new books can take a year or more, this initiative aims to bridge that gap."
