A Very Good Week Behind Bars

Php 380

BY JANEAL TURNBULL-RAVNDAL

Brief Description:
What is it like to spend time in prison for demonstrating? Janeal Ravndal writes of her week in Philadelphia's Federal Detention Center after she chose to ignore orders not to block entry to a courthouse as the U.S. began to attack Iraq early in 2003. Janeal shares movingly of joyful moments and discouraging times, of shared prayers and music-making, and of the satisfaction of creating art from the sparse "found" materials in a cell. Conscious of the dramatic contrast between her "very good week" and the days of a typical inmate, she was acutely aware of what a different world prison would be for those who found little joy or companionship there.
