Artifact: Original Prison Narratives
Assignment: Write a 1-page prison narrative from the perspective of someone who is incarcerated. You can research an actual incarcerated person, or create a fictional persona. Describe why the person is in prison, what they are experiencing, and how prison is affecting who they are (it could be a lot, could be not at all). The more detail you give about the person’s experience and thoughts, the better. Make sure that you write in the first person, and be imaginative!
