Welcome to the New Day Cafe! This is an open thread.

This is interesting: jstor.org hosts a digital archive of over two centuries of American prison newspapers.

x Mass incarceration is American history. Full stop. Recognizing this, @RevealDigital embarked to gather and preserve prison journalism that spans across 2 centuries and all states. It's available open access on @JSTOR. 2/ https://t.co/bZmsjatY4O — Morgan Godvin (@MorganGodvin) January 3, 2023

x Here are some of my favorite stories we've published so far. Exceptional nuggets of human joy and human suffering are buried within the collection's pages.



This piece by @mollyhagan_ is incredible. 3/ https://t.co/GQgycBmaLr — Morgan Godvin (@MorganGodvin) January 3, 2023

x Phil Smith is serving life without parole. Higher education in prison doesn't serve some employment-after-release goal. Let him tell you what it is about.



His essay about being the editor of The Nash News and getting an education is breathtaking. 4/ https://t.co/xk6gmb9FhW — Morgan Godvin (@MorganGodvin) January 3, 2023

x I first became a "writer" by publishing an essay about becoming fluent in Spanish while locked up. It became my escape hatch out of poverty. 5 years ago, this changed my life.



The @JSTOR_Daily story I'm sharing next wouldn't have happened without it. 6/ https://t.co/B2pvGAILYZ — Morgan Godvin (@MorganGodvin) January 3, 2023

This isn’t finished, but I forgot it was my day! Thanks for your understanding.
