But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in prisoners' lives. Legendary journalist William Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo and Nick Garcia, prisoners and brothers who revived the newspaper, and describing how the newspaper developed under the care of an enlightened warden and a small group of grizzled newspaper veterans serving as advisors, Drummond among them. Sharing how the wardens and other officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to take unprecedented steps in publishing information, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to expose conditions inside prison walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks clamoring for reform. Offering a glimpse of prisoners struggling to tell their stories under authoritarian conditions, as well as as a window onto the historical shifts happening outside prison walls across the country, Prison Truth is a much-needed reminder of how journalists, correctional personnel, and inmates can work together toward a common goal"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a San Quentin news. 610 20 $a California State Prison at San Quentin. 610 27 $a California State Prison at San Quentin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00553785 650 0 $a Prison newspapers $z San Quentin. $z San Quentin. 650 0 $a Prisoners as journalists $z San Quentin. $z San Quentin. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z San Quentin $z San Quentin $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Prisoners $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077200 651 7 $a California $z San Quentin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208955 776 08 $i Online version: $a Drummond, William J., 1944- $t Prison truth $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2020] $z 9780520970526 $w (DLC) 2019038574 941 $a 3 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214042159.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060101.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021834.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FAA8E7C5D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
