A journalism professor recounts the unlikely story of a newspaper published by inmates at San Quentin, California's oldest prison.
Professional journalists like Drummond advise the inmate newspaper, but ultimate control resides with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Drummond acknowledges that the newspaper is nothing like the, the hard-hitting magazine published at the Louisiana State Prison at Angola that has been celebrated for its investigations.
The book is most revealing in its examination of race and public policy. It reminds us that reformist impulses guided prison management within living memory and changed — at least in California — when the racial and ethnic composition of inmates changed. The prisoners in “Duffy of San Quentin,” a 1954 melodrama about the humanitarian San Quentin warden, are nearly all white.
