"Censorship is made worse by implementing it more strictly, writes Tomas Keen, a 2023 PEN America Prison Writing Award winner, in Boston Globe's @the_emancipator. "Bans work to further ostracize incarcerated people from society."

“What do you mean they rejected a book on anti-racism?” Tomas Keen asks, checking his stride. “More and more, I’ve seen prisons in my state of Washington banning books on racism, claiming they promote racism and lead to violence.”🧵

Since being incarcerated 15 years ago, Daniel Pirkel won Honorable Mention in the 2022 @PENamerica Prison Writing Contest for his essay, “The Unintended Consequences of Retributive Justice,” but neither he nor his inmates can read it.

America locks up more people than any other country in the world. When all agency is taken away, sometimes the only freedom prisoners have left is found in the pages of a book. This week, three incarcerated writers help us understand the urgency of fighting book bans in prisons.
