Prison Life

He has spent a life behind bars - He is truly institutionalized - He escapes through writing

CAMERON JEFFRIES was raised in central and south Louisiana and born of Cajun heritage. He has been incarcerated for more than 30 years. With prison reforms, conditions have improved much since 2007. Writing allows him to think outside the bars of his concrete jungle. He loves the outdoors, animals, and making new friends.

I have been writing to prison inmates since 1989. Cameron Jeffries is an exceptionally talented writer who has a gritty style of telling it the way it is. In Prison Life, he draws a vivid picture of inmates' daily lives and physical and psychological problems. His anecdotes are all true and reflect life in prison for inmates and those in authority. Some of the stories are humorous, and some sad. There are also brief notes on prison policy explained by Cameron from his point of view. This work is a very interesting book that educates the public about Prison Life.
