Prison Life

This manuscript recounts the writing of inmates in a writing workshop project taught by the author at San Quentin State Prison. Through the process of writing personal narratives the inmates came to render new meaning from their lived experience. The process of writing bypassed rigid defenses developed in prison, and inmates were able to write and share without being left vulnerable. Writing, in this way, helped inmates who participated to escape the monotony and boredom of prison life and provided opportunity for reflection and personal growth.

Premiere Partie

La littérature est un texte, un tissu de relations de soi à soi, de soi aux autres, d’innombrables autres passés et à venir, par le biais du langage. Cet outil premier semble appartenir à tous, mais en réalité il n’est pas à la portée de chacun. Il serait donc intéressant de relater l’expérience angevine que je viens de vivre avec Lire~Ecrire~Compter (LEC), une association pour la promotion des savoirs, l’insertion sociale et professionnelle, créée en 1986, qui lutte contre l’illettrisme. L’une de ses approches originales, la “lecture-plaisir”, consiste à proposer à des volontaires de participer à la création d’un livre. Depuis 2004, l’association permet à ses “apprenants” de rencontrer un écrivain reconnu afin de participer à des ateliers d’écriture. Le fruit de leur travail commun est retranscrit dans la première partie de l’ouvrage publié ; la seconde nait de la libre créativité de l’auteur. Deciphering one’s life and writing it Literature is a text, a fabric of relations between oneself and oneself, between oneself and others – countless past and to come –, by the means of language. This tool is supposed to belong to all, but is in fact not accessible to everybody. In this respect, an experience I just went through in Angers (France) is highly interesting. Lire-Écrire-Compter (Read-Write-Count), an association for the promotion of knowledge, social and professional inclusion, and against illiteracy since 1986, proposes to its students to take part in the creation of a book. Since 2004, this program called “Reading-pleasure” offers students the opportunity of a “writing workshop” with a renowned writer. The first part of the published book presents this collective work; the second part originates from the author’s own creativity.
