American prison literature : ウィキペディア英語版 | American prison literature American prison literature is literature written by Americans who are incarcerated. It is a distinct literary phenomenon which is increasingly studied as such by academics.〔(Call for Papers: American Prison Writing ). 2004 National PCA/ACA Conference.〕 In the words of Arnold Erickson: :"Prison has been a fertile setting for artists, musicians, and writers alike. Prisoners have produced hundreds of works that have encompassed a wide range of literature. () Books describing the prison experience, including the Autobiography of Malcolm X, inspired an audience far outside the prison walls. The importance of these works have been recognized in this country's highest courts. See Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. New York State Crime Victim's Compensation Board, 502 U.S. 105, 121-122 (1991)(citing works by prisoners)."〔(Review of ) H. Bruce Franklin, ed., ''Prison Writing in 20th Century America''.〕 == Overview == The emergence of prison writing relied on convicts with the necessary writing skills to tell their stories from the inside. Early writings came from prisoners who had already begun to publish before being arrested. Among these early-20th-century writers was Jack London, who in 1894 spent a month in New York State’s Erie County Penitentiary. This transformative experience informed much of his writing.
