Jailhouse Journalism: The Fourth Estate Behind Bars

By (author) James McGrath Morris

| on special |

normal price: R 7 690.95

Price: R 6 921.95

| book description |

In the 1980s alone, some 100 periodicals were published by and for inmates of America's prisons. Unlike their peers who passed their sentences stamping out licence plates, these convicts spent their days like reporters in any community - looking for the story. Yet their own story, the lengthy history of their unique brand of journalism, remained largely unknown. In this volume James McGrath Morris seeks to address the history of this medium, the lives of the men and women who brought it to life, and the controversies that often surround it.
