Corrections in Ink: A Memoir
by Keri Blakinger
emotional
informative
inspiring
Definitely a more reportorial writing style than I usually read/prefer, which at times felt jarring and overly blunt/straightforward.
However, her story was great and this was super for personal insight into the criminal justice system. Blakinger wrote this at a good time in life, I felt like she had appropriately reflected on her actions and her habit of keeping a journal allowed her to intersperse her contemporary feelings with her subsequent reflections. I was most struck by all the petty humiliations and challenges of life inside, beyond the normal challenges of being away from society.
