Overview
Synopsis: Prison From the Inside Out is both a book and an act of trust: A black man from New Jersey and a white woman from New York meet in a workshop at a North Carolina prison. They decide they have something to tell the world about incarceration, self-esteem, personal growth, survival, and the power of trustForceful, vivid, and utterly captivating. Every voice is fully alive, opinionated, smart, honest, articulate, and human--especially that of Mecca, the complex, thoughtful figure at the center. - Lydia Davis, fiction writer, MacArthur Fellow, Man Booker International PrizeIn his many years of incarceration, William 'Mecca" Elmore realized that words are more powerful than bars. This is also a love story dedicated to resistance, resilience, hope, unconditional love, and humility. - Jaki Shelton Green, North Carolina Poet LaureateBeautiful!
