DrDanaDeHartI have been listening to @keribla #CorrectionsInInk on my grocery trips, via Audible. This is such an amazing insider perspective on the ways that incarceration strips persons of their humanity. So many policy implications from this work, and I hope it is recognized and promoted by those who have voice and/or make their voices heard. Really awesome writing, insight, passion, and detail.

Happy New Year to everybody except for Florida prison officials who decided this week to permanently ban my book.
I hope you are hungover for like two weeks.

It’s been exactly 12 years since I got arrested. I was on the front page of the local paper afterward, and it is so wild to see that day as page one of my book now.
My best ever how it started/how it’s going, I guess.
ALERT: Florida prisons are meeting on 12/22 to decide whether to ban my book permanently!
If you would like to (politely) tell them fuck no don’t do that, please write this address and tell them why my book - Corrections in Ink - is important for prisoners.
Somebody made a series of haikus out of random sentences from my book and i FUCKING LOVE IT.
