Hi there! Thanks for posting. I actually created an account so I could comment/ask you question(s), so I hope you'll come back to this.

I find it interesting that you name Geronimo Ji Jaga Pratt among the "murderers" you taught. His conviction was vacated after 27 years of false imprisonment. What sorts of things did he write about? Did he write about his innocence? Or about how the Feds set him up and intentionally surpressed exculpatory evidence?

I've thought about teaching writing/literature in prison but I've never known anyone who's done it. Was it full-time work? Part-time? Days?

I'm intimately acquainted with someone who was charged with and convicted of bullshit "terrorism" charges. When his case was first underway, the feds threatened him with a 25-30 year sentence for what amounted to $1500 worth of property damage. Anyway, my relationship with him and knowledge of the intricicasies of his case have left me with an extremely bitter taste in my mouth regarding our prison system and the federal judicial system in general. Did working with prisoners alter your perception of either or both of these entities?

Thanks!
