Unlocking the Prison Muse
註釋"Unlocking The Prison Muse examines the history of prisoners' writing in the UK, from Oscar Wilde to the present day. It details the inspirations and motivations for prison writers, the facilitating and disabling factors involved in writing for publication while in prison and the effects on the writers, on the victims of their offending, on wider society and on penal reform." "The book covers autobiography and memoir, fiction, drama, poetry and journalism and considers whether writing success can assist rehabilitation. It covers the inconsistency of censorship in the prison system and the moral and practical implications of criminals profiting by writing about their offences."--BOOK JACKET.
