Doing Time: For the prison writers whose work is included in this anthology, it means more than "serving a sentence"; it means staying alive and sane, preserving dignity, reinventing oneself, and somehow retaining one's humanity.

The contest honors the best short stories, plays, essays, and poems among hundreds submitted annually by men and women nationwide.
