ENG 324 - The Prison Memoir
3 Credit(s)
The Prison Memoir is designed to help students explore and understand how well-crafted memoirs written about prisons and the incarcerated life are a significant contribution to literature and the story of humanity. In addition to reading prison memoirs and excerpts written by men and women from diverse cultures, situations, and perspectives, students will study the craft of memoir as a creative writing genre with its own challenges and problems, as well as begin the process of writing their own memoir. Although this course will have special appeal to prisoners, it is open to any student wishing to understand the incarcerated life as told by those who have lived it, or are still living it.
