                                     NEW BOOK BY REGINALD LEWIS! 
" This collection of 28 powerful essays were recorded in a small, cramped cell on Pennsylvania.s death row, at SCI-Greene, one of the toughest, super-maximum security prisons in the state, which employed Corporal Charles Graner, the central figure in the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. I recount my own painful childhood memories, and a tapestry of stories is cut from the daily lives of over two million men and women trapped inside the dark gulags all across America. There are hard-hitting investigative pieces about unjust convictions, police corruption, dehumanizing shakedowns, black-on-black crime, and this writer.s correspondence with a group of schoolchildren that precipitated the three-day, 30-mile Children's Crusade to Death Row, a memorable civil rights march that garnered local, national, and international media attention. Where I'm Writing From is a fascinating collection of essays about the cold reality of life behind bars."
