Description

'A searing work of self-examination, an inquiry of power, and a funny,provocative, and inspiring personal story of addiction, prison, andinvestigative journalism' -PIPER KERMAN, New York Times bestselling author of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK Keri Blakinger had always lived at full throttle. Whether flying through the air, chasingOlympic dreams on the ice rink; surviving on as few calories as she could; or balancing aheroin addiction with pursuing a degree at an Ivy League university. But on a coldDecember day, Keri is arrested with a Tupperware container full of heroin. Shortlyafterwards, she is convicted and sent to prison. Forced to confront her addiction, Keri finally manages to break free of it, and finds herselfin a place unlike anything she has experienced before: a world built on senselessbrutality, but whose inhabitants, her fellow inmates, will change her life forever. Written in luminous prose, with searing honesty and flashes of dark humour, Correctionsin Ink shines a light on a broken prison system, and the cruelty and kindness Blakingerexperienced there. It is a radical call for justice, and a testament to the power of findingone's voice.
