Cultural Writing. Now a highly politicized medium, prison literature's roots lie in tales of theft, brutality, and religious conversion. Sullivan presents a lively array of selections from the earliest recorded convict autobiographies, examining crimes, arrests and convictions, punishments inflicted, survival techniques, and spiritual awakenings.
