In Keri Blakinger's memoir, the path from high-achieving teenager to prison to writer
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Wed Jun 15 2022
Description: Keri Blakinger says there are no rules behind bars. In 2010, she was arrested on a drug charge and spent two years in prison. And although that statement might sound counterintuitive, Blakinger says that inside the prison, no one is watching when it matters. In her memoir Corrections in Ink, she writes about her path from high-achieving teenager to incarcerated woman to reporter and writer. In an interview with Ailsa Chang on All Things Considered, she says reporting on the prison system has been meaningful because she gets to amplify the stories of those who are just where she used to be.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
