"People serving time in Minnesota prisons are helping choose this year’s Inside Literary Prize, a national book #award determined by a jury of entirely incarcerated readers... The award is a collaboration between #FreedomReads, the Center for Justice Innovation and the National Book Foundation. The idea is to include incarcerated readers in national literary discussions and foster connections and personal growth behind #prison walls."
