Summary
:
A daring journalist goes behind bars to explore the redemptive power of books with bikers, bank robbers, and gunmen. PRISON BOOK CLUB follows six of the book club members, who kept journals at Walmsley's request and participated in candid one-on-one conversations. Graham the biker, Frank the gunman, Ben and Dread the drug dealers, and the robber duo Gaston and Peter come to life as the author reconciles her knowledge of their crimes with the individuals themselves, and follows their lives as they leave prison.
