Letters to My Younger Self: an Anthology of Writings by Incarcerated men at S.c.i. Graterford and a Writing Workbook Jayne Thompson

In this anthology incarcerated me in the Prison Literacy Project at S. C. I. Graterford contribute pieces about regretful decisions made or painful experiences in their youth, fearlessly exposing their vulnerability. The men chose many methods for sharing their messages; some wrote letters to their young selves or family members, telling of their struggles growing up in difficult circumstances. They reached out from behind the prison walls to caution young offenders while they still have time to change their lives, but they speak to us all. They remind us all about choices, consequences, and caring for others.
