Prison from the Inside Out
One Man’s Journey from a Life Sentence to Freedom
Mecca was sentenced to “mandatory life,” a sentence that meant he would spend the rest of his natural life in prison with no possibility of parole.
Prison From the Inside Out tells the story of how that sentence was served using the tools of oral history. Mecca and Simone are collaborating authors. Join us for our conversations by reading our book. Contact us to add your voice.
Prison From the Inside Out tells difficult and very personal truths about mass incarceration as it is experienced by the convicted and their families. What we’ve written down comes directly from each of the people in this story.
