A Life Inside af Erwin James (Bog)

In the mid 1980s Erwin James was sentenced to life imprisonment. Over recent years, he has written powerfully about prison life for the Guardian. James writes candidly about learning the who, what, why and when of the prison world.

Nineteen years ago, Erwin James was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. He writes with honesty and great lucidity about learning the who, what, why and when of the prison world; about the relationships that develop between men forced into long years of co-existence, and finally about how, in the depths of the system, he discovered self-worth through education and a talent for writing. A Life Inside is the story of a journey from vicious youth to reformed middle age. It does not glorify crime, nor does it seek to make excuses for its author's past. But Erwin James's account of his incarcerated life is a dramatic human story that no reader will readily forget.
