San Quentin State Prison, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest, is notorious for once holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates’ lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo García, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform.

"Different to any other book on prison. Compelling and quite breath-taking in its scope of insights, giving a voice to the only people that really know" - Erwin James. If you ask people who've just left prison about their experiences of being inside, their responses are fascinating and often quite frightening. If you ask professionals - such as prison officers, governors, probation officers, psychologists and teachers - to talk truthfully about their work within prisons and the criminal justice system, and you guarantee them anonymity, their responses are also fascinating, but highly revealing too. And when you read these stories together, you notice threads and themes that not only tell stories of personal redemption and endurance, of fear and violence, but of an insular environment that hides many of its challenges and secrets from the public. Professionals are not allowed to speak to the press and would be disciplined or sacked for doing so. There are valid reasons for this and the tax-paying public should know the truth. Newspapers, computers and televisions bring us statistics and stories on an almost weekly basis: prisoners off their heads on drink and drugs; self-harm and suicide rates rising to a record high; an understaffed and underfunded prison service; a specialist team of counter-terrorism experts aimed at tackling extremism; mindless violence captured on contraband mobile phones; inmates taking over whole wings during riots. How has government policy impacted upon all those affected? Are criminals leaving as better people, less likely to commit crime? What's the difference between high security, local and young offender prisons? Hundreds of terrorists have been imprisoned in the past decade -what affect does this have upon the prison population? Are psychologists, probation officers and teachers helping rehabilitate vulnerable and volatile criminals or simply ticking boxes? What is the effect on mothers, daughters and other family members when their loved ones are incarcerated? Do prisons actually work? And what kind of future are we heading towards?

Meanwhile, Roger has enrolled in a prison drug program that is a guise for mind control. Then, just months shy of his release, Roger is condemned to solitary confinement for fighting although prison officials are guilty. Roger boldly fights back by blowing the whistle and an unlikely ally comes to his aid. Still, Roger shows that his human spirit will not be broken by adversity. Join Roger as he sheds a sobering light on America, calls for changes to the beleagured criminal justice system and tells an awe-inspiring story about faith and God.

Prepare yourself for a journey into the indonesian penal system, a world where murder, torture and fights to the death are the norm. Hell's Prisoner is the powerful story of one man's battle to survive in some of the world's cruellest and most inhumane prisons. Christopher Parnell, wrongly accused of drug trafficking, found himself catapulted into the maelstrom of madness and degradation that exists within Indonesian jails. Surrounded by murderers and sadistic, violent criminals, he soon learned that life can be as cheap as a bowl of rice or a cigarette. During his imprisonment, Parnell was subjected to unthinkable sessions of torture, both physical and psychological. Left to starve and fight every day for his survival, he was forced to eat everything from cockroaches to human flesh. This is an incredible tale of fatalism and bureaucracy, of corruption and the horrors of prison, but most of all it is a no-holds-barred account of what the human spirit can endure.
