True Notebooks: A Writer's Year at Juvenile Hall by Mark Salzman

4.0

---

Mark Salzman gets stuck writing a novel, so he gets roped into a writing class held at a juvenile penitentiary center that doesn't change how he thinks about crime, criminals, or justice. But it does change how he thinks about himself and about how even youth who murder are genuine people with a lot of heartfelt writing to express.
