Writing Within Walls by Arkbound Foundation

Writing Within Walls by Arkbound Foundation

Stories, poems and articles of hope by people in custody and on probation, edited by the Arkbound Foundation. Prison. It is a word that conjures up loss, bleakness and despair. A place where those who have broken the law are kept, both for punishment and for the safety of society. But behind these images are human stories, accounts of tragic mistakes and broken lives, woven in-between with hope. For those inside prison, it is hope that often keeps them going: for the future, for those they care for, and for the chance to start afresh upon release.

‘The reader cannot help but be moved by some of these stories and it is remarkable that in such times of penal adversity there are those who are able to lift people up and sustain them when all else seems defeatedFor many, it is hope that has kept them alive.’ – Eoin Mclennan-Murray, former Prison Governor and Chair of the Howard League for Penal Reform

In 2020 the Arkbound Foundation ran a national writing competition for UK prisoners and people on probation. Entries were decided upon by a panel of three judges, of which these stories represent the 20 winning pieces. We have used nicknames or initials of authors for safeguarding. All pieces have been carefully curated and edited by the Arkbound Foundation, whilst being sensitive of preserving the authors’ voices.
