Adios Prison: Tales of Spectacular Escapes | Juan José Garfia

125 pages | Elephant Editions | 2008

The barely fictionalized accounts of four escapes from prison, written in the 90s and recently translated from the Spanish. These stories are important as more and more of our friends go to prison; they are realistic portrayals by experienced people about what prison is like, and what to look for when dealing with the bureaucracies and institutions that are more intense in prison, but also surround us every day. Translated by Barbara Stefanelli and Jean Weir.
