Incarcerated authors are a diverse group of individuals who use writing as both a form of self-expression and a tool to engage critically with the carceral system. They span all ages, backgrounds, and levels of prior education, often including individuals who discovered or significantly developed their literacy skills while in prison. While some were incarcerated for non-violent offenses, others have served time for serious crimes, including life sentences or death row confinements.
