A few days ago, a journalist, poet, and prison activist named Phillip Smith II sent me the news that the on-line magazine Bolts has just published his article "Priced Out of Phone Calls Home." Phillip is an inmate at the Neuse Correctional Facility in Goldsboro, N.C.-- and his article is worth reading.

Learning Instructions for Everyone … in prison and out (by Phillip Vance Smith II)
Phillip Vance Smith II, an inmate at the Nash Correctional Institution, has just published a remarkable book of poetry called "Life: Learning Instructions for Everyone … in prison and out." His poems are a primer in survival without hope, or perhaps in how to find hope, and how to make a life with meaning, in a hopeless world.
