An electric memoir that follows a young woman from chasing Olympic dreams on the ice rink, through addiction and prison, to finally discovering her voice as a journalist.
Keri Blakinger is a Texas-based journalist. She is a staff writer for the Marshall Project, and her work has appeared in VICE, the Washington Post Magazine, and on NBC News and the BBC. Corrections in Ink is her first book.
'Corrections in Ink is a ground-breaking debut from an
extraordinary writer; in her memoir, Blakinger offers a searing
work of self-examination, an inquiry of power, and a funny,
provocative, and inspiring personal story of addiction, prison, and
investigative journalism... a testament to where a woman can go
after rock-bottom, the power to transform oneself, and the
imperative to discover and tell the truth' - Piper Kerman, New York
Times bestselling author of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
'A gorgeously written, page-turning memoir about addiction, prison,
and privilege' - Kirkus
'It's hard to think of a reporter more deeply devoted to exposing
the brokenness of the American prison system than Keri Blakinger,
who in Corrections in Ink turns her journalistic eye and narrative
gift to her own story - a riveting journey through the depths of
addiction and incarceration' - Wesley Lowery, Pulitzer Prize
winning journalist and author of THEY CAN'T KILL US ALL
