Letters from Jail

In 1986, legendary science fiction writer and editor Ted White went to jail for possession and sale of marijuana. A prolific correspondent, Ted kept up a steady stream of letters during his confinement that vividly and powerfully detail everyday life behind bars, from relationships with other prisoners and guards to living in cells and common rooms - not to mention the fine jailhouse cuisine. (Seriously, don't mention it.) Ted White's letters make you feel like you're really in jail...and really glad you're not.
