Shaun Attwood

In prison, I read over 1000 books in just under six years, including many literary classics. Books were the lifeblood of my rehabilitation.

As told on National Geographic Channel's Locked-Up/Banged-Up Abroad episode "Raving Arizona," I used a tiny pencil sharpened on a cell door to write the first prison blog, Jon’s Jail Journal.

Raised in a small chemical-manufacturing town in northern England, I was the first from my family to go to university. As a penniless graduate,
