Shapiro, Bruce | March 20, 1995 issue

add to cart   close window

In this article the author focuses on an essay by Kathy Boudin, about life in prison, that was published in one of the issues of the journal Harvard Educational Review in 1993. According to the author the essay recounted how women incarcerated in the maximum-security prison in Bedford Hills, New York, revived a moribund literacy program by focusing reading and writing on AIDS. Boudlin was a prisoner in Bedford Hills. In the Bedford Hills visitors' room, Boudin's frequent laughter and intensity of engagement banish from memory the 1981 newspaper photos of a grim, shattered woman led handcuffed to arraignment.
