Prison Truth: The Story of the San Quentin News

William J. Drummond

4.9/5 (24892 ratings)

Description:San Quentin State Prison, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest, is notorious for holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay began an evolution, becoming a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, changed the prison climate from being a living hell to one that fostered positive change in prisoners’ lives. Legendary journalist William Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo and Nick Garcia, prisoners and brothers who revived the newspaper, and how the newspaper developed under the care of an enlightened warden and a small group of grizzled newspaper veterans serving as advisors, Drummond among them. Sharing how the wardens and other officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to take unprecedented steps in publishing information, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to expose conditions inside prison walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks clamoring for reform. Offering a glimpse of what is possible when prisoners struggle to tell their stories under the most authoritarian conditions, as well as serving as a window into the historical shifts happening outside prison walls across the country, Prison Truth is a much-needed reminder of how journalists, correctional personnel, and inmates can work together toward a common goal.
