Biography:
Judith Trustone is an award-winning writer and photographer who has been a human rights activist all her life. A counselor, teacher, writer and editor, her Creative Writing classes at Pennsylvania’s Graterford Prison, the fifth largest in the country and one of the toughest, opened her eyes to the brutality of a 19th Century system costing taxpayers $46 billion a year that has an 85% failure rate.
After learning of the daily terrorism in prisons, she determined to give voice to those living in Shadow America, where we warehouse the Thrownaway People. She founded SageWriters.com, a network of imprisoned writers.
