Prison Inmate Authors Reach Out in Book to Reveal Inner Struggles

Boulder, CO

Inmates from the Colorado Department of Corrections have astounded the literary world with a book of short stories, poetry, essays and art about their efforts to rehabilitate themselves inside State correctional institutions. The book’s release coincides with announcement of the Governor of Colorado’s plan to reduce recidivism in the prison system. TALES FROM THE INSIDE is published through Lulu.com both in print and online.

These stirring stories, told in vivid detail, give valuable insights about the personal trials and adjustment challenges prisoners confront and the sweet rewards they sometimes reap in the most unexpected places. The entertaining tales, many couched in fictional terms, offer inspiration, motivation, and sanctuary to those who dwell both inside and outside prison walls.

Roscoe Betunada, Inmate Counselor, comments: “The incredible inner journeys toward maturity that these inmates traverse, and the obstacles they encounter while grappling with their past mistakes and failings are a rousing testimonial to the triumph of the human spirit.”

Editor Morwyn, who for several years has helped inmate authors with their writing skills, says, “The depth of knowledge about the craft of writing, and the wisdom these men express far outdistance the work of most college students I’ve encountered. I have learned so much working with them.” Morwyn, a professor, intercultural trainer and the author of 14 books, resides in Boulder, Colorado.

TALES FROM THE INSIDE by the Inmates of the Colorado Department of Corrections is available from www.lulu.com / www.dunravenhouse.com/ Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Borders.
