If you have something to say about the prison experience, something funny, tragic or simply interesting, please send it (or have it forwarded) to publico@americantribune.org. We reserve all rights to the material and may edit it to ensure that it conforms to our style and mission.
Our only requirement is that you are or have been incarcerated for a felony conviction, and that you have something original and socially relevant to say about it. Your anonymity, if you wish, will be preserved.
Please join me in making The Prison Experience Connection the place to go for felons and those interested in their experiences.
