The American Prison Writing Archive

FAIN: PW-253826-17

Hamilton College (Clinton, NY 13323-1295)
Doran Larson (Project Director: July 2016 to December 2021)

Cataloging and digitization of 1,200 original, non-fiction essays written by prisoners in the American criminal justice system.

We seek funding to support The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA), the largest and first fully searchable digital archive of first-person, non-fiction essays by incarcerated people and prison workers writing about their experience inside. Currently holding over 1,100 essays in its paper files, and gathering 1,200 more before and during the grant period, the APWA fills a yawning gap in the literature on a prison-jail system that holds 2.26 million Americans and affects millions of others. Based in first-person narratives, the APWA will re-open the prison to humanities scholars sidelined from prison studies in face of the sheer size of the U.S. prison system. It will build and maintain a national, collaborative archive serving scholarly and general audiences, and it will bring together faculty and students, library and technology specialists, and members of the larger community to develop the most innovative and sustainable digital features to serve all interested parties.

Abstract: Hamilton College: The Zo, Based on the American Prison Writing Archive, Debuts. “In 2008 when Professor of Literature and Creative Writing Doran Larson launched a seminar on American prison writing at Hamilton, he found there existed no collection that offered a broad sampling of writing by inmates. Thus began his solicitation of essays from the incarcerated that led to the publishing of Fourth City: Essays from the Prison in America, edited by Larson, and to the subsequent creation of the American Prison Writing Archive (APWA). The archive, now numbering more than 2,300 essays from 950 authors, has been used by colleges in 33 states and many countries around the world from Australia to England. Never before, however, has the archive received such well-deserved attention as that generated by Welcome to ‘The Zo’, a new series of videos from The Marshall Project that takes a look at life inside prison through sentiments expressed in the APWA letters.”

Abstract: "Since 2012, the American Prison Writing Archive at Hamilton College has gathered 2,340 essays by incarcerated writers. (The project, which is backed by the National Endowment for the Humanities, solicits submissions through newsletters circulated in prisons.) America imprisons people at a higher rate than any other country, and the project invites the 2.3 million people incarcerated in the U.S. to tell their stories in their own words. Many of these reflections are handwritten, and Doran Larson, a professor of literature and creative writing at the college, welcomes help from people who are able to type them up. If you’d like to transcribe, fill out the application."

Prison Witness: A Working Introduction to The American Prison Writing Archive (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Prison Witness: A Working Introduction to The American Prison Writing Archive
Author: Doran Larson
Abstract: The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA) is a digital platform for non-fiction essays by incarcerated people writing about their experience inside. It seeks to disaggregate this population into singular minds and ideas. Narratives of the human costs of incarceration enable and invite humanists—with their highly nuanced methods of critical reading—to help counter the ‘big data’ approach to carceral statehood with an unfolding of big narrative witness. In the 2,500,000+-word APWA, academic commitment to both professional scholarship and public activism can join in a project that removes scholars from the roles of leading voices and into the work of secondary witnesses facilitating the labor of the organic intellects now burgeoning at the receiving end of law’s violence. This capacity will be put into (preliminary) practice in real time among audience members. The paper will begin with a five-minute PowerPoint history of the analog inception and into-digital growth of the APWA. It will then lead the audience through the basic search facets of the archive, asking readers to focus on essays by incarcerated women of color (nb: i-phones are adequate for this work). After a few minutes given to reading among these essays, the session will enter open discussion of what readers have found; stepping off from this discussion, the presenter will conclude by suggesting ways to curate and make critical use of prison witness more generally.

Digital Witness in the Era of Mass Incarceration (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Digital Witness in the Era of Mass Incarceration
Author: Doran Larson
Abstract: This paper will briefly review the inception and analog-into-digital growth that prison writers forced into being in the APWA; it will address the status of “witness literature” in an era of both mass incarceration and the digital means to make such witness accessible to a global readership.. Even as it disaggregates a mass population into singular voices, hearts and minds, the essays in the APWA reveal larger patterns in prison witness. In 1982, legal scholar Robert Cover observed that the law establishes and maintains its authority on the basis of its monopoly on legally sanctioned violence and the suffering threatened and delivered by such violence. The APWA’s writers reveal Cover’s unwritten corollary: We cannot know the full human cost or the moral status of any legal state without human witness to the depth and manner of suffering meted out by such violence. This paper will discuss the ethics of managing the APWA and of early work on text analysis, describing decisions to bracket all editorial intervention, subordinating the scholar, digital humanist, and data miner to the roles of facilitators of the unregulated interface of prison testimony and global readers.

Reading Ourselves in Prison Witness: Defeated Purposes, Expanding the Circle of Responsibility. (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Reading Ourselves in Prison Witness: Defeated Purposes, Expanding the Circle of Responsibility.
Author: Doran Larson
Abstract: This paper draws on passages from the APWA in which incarcerated people describe the experience of seeing their personalities so changed by incarceration that the notion that incarceration is effectively retributive is placed in doubt. Retribution assumes that the same person who was convicted of a crime persists inside carceral institutions. If this continuum is broken, the retributive rationale may also break down.

From Witness to Archive: The Ethics of Digitizing First-Person Prison Testimony (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: From Witness to Archive: The Ethics of Digitizing First-Person Prison Testimony
Author: Doran Larson
Abstract: The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA) is the largest and first fully searchable digital archive of non-fiction essays by incarcerated people writing about their experience inside. The APWA currently hosts 2,168 essays, or over 2.8 million words of direct prison witness. This is a word count equal to one quarter of the entire known corpus of slave narrative; the APWA echoes that corpus by bringing first-person voices forward to resist constructed misrepresentation of the subjects of an institution committed to legally sanctioned violence. Like slave narrators, authors in the APWA help us to measure and thus to ask (again), What is the cost in human suffering of the current legal order? This paper will briefly review the creation of an analog collection project that evolved into the APWA when essays kept coming after the deadline, forcing a break beyond analog print and onto a digital platform. The paper will point to the ethical implications of clicking onto scanned pages composed by writers who testify to the human experience of the gravitational center of the law’s violence, the center of the same legal horizon upon which the reader sits and that is revealed by reading prison witness. It will also address an ethical hazard raised by digital methods: The APWA’s scale, addressed with computational aids, makes it possible to atomize and re-datify the work of writers seeking to extract themselves—as individuals with full human dignity—from among the data piles of social science and the mass-scale prison. Drawing upon graphic models offered by Darwin and Koebler—by way of Franco Moretti—the paper will describe a text analysis plan that both respects the integrity of each prison witness, and helps readers understand that these are witnesses who speak for the silenced inside the mass prison.

Beyond Transition or Reform: The Prison Witness as Agent of Transformational Justice (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Beyond Transition or Reform: The Prison Witness as Agent of Transformational Justice
Author: Doran Larson
Abstract: No one knows law’s violence like those on its receiving end, yet imprisoned people have typically served merely as objects of socio-legal study. This paper argues for adoption of broad-scale, first-person prison witness as the primary map for a transformative justice seated in prison-born clarifications of what constitutes the human. U.S. prisons are de facto extra-legal spaces, nearly immune to legal rules or accountability. Those who witness penal practice know just how ineffective legal remedies are in penetrating prison walls. They are thus singularly situated to chart extra-legal paths to fully humane conceptions of justice as evidenced by first-person testimony from U.S. prisons and other carceral sites. In their essay on transformative justice, Paul Gready and Simon Robins write, “A transformative approach will need to be context dependent, driven by the local and particular understandings of rights in any context and consider the diversity of understandings that might exist. It will challenge a purely normative approach with a base of evidence” (Gready and Robins 2014, 344). The primary base of evidence for this paper is The American Prison Writing Archive, a digital archive of (to date) 2,776 essays authored by 1,075 currently and formerly incarcerated people writing about their experience inside. The paper argues that written resistance to carceral quarantine and censorship, in clarifying the minimum-without-which discursive status falls short of the fully human, sets the grounds for transformation of our notions of multiple forms of justice.

Prison Witness, Prison Resistance: Working with The American Prison Writing Archive. (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Prison Witness, Prison Resistance: Working with The American Prison Writing Archive.
Author: Doran Larson
Abstract: The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA) is a fully-searchable digital platform for non-fiction essays by incarcerated people writing about their experience inside. The Archive seeks to disaggregate this population into singular minds and ideas; at the same time, among the 3,054 posted essays, broad patterns that bind today’s prison writing into a national witness literature are apparent. Narratives of the human costs of incarceration help counter the ‘big data’ approach to carceral statehood with an unfolding of big narrative witness. In the APWA, academic commitment to both professional scholarship and public activism can join in a project that removes scholars from the roles of leading voices and into the work of secondary witnesses facilitating the labor of the organic intellects now burgeoning at the receiving end of law’s violence and offering discursive resistance to carceral state censorship. This capacity will be put into (preliminary) practice in real time among audience members. The paper will begin with a five-minute PowerPoint history of the analog inception and into-digital growth of the APWA. It will then lead the audience through the basic search facets of the Archive. After a few minutes given to reading among these essays, the session will enter open discussion of what readers have found; stepping off from this discussion, the presenter will conclude by suggesting ways we might help prison witnesses in taking a vanguard position in resistance to the carceral state.
