In the depths of the Minnesota State Prison, a peculiar publication has been shedding light on the lives of its inmates for over a decade. Founded in 1887 by the prisoners themselves, the ‘Prison Mirror’ has been serving as a weekly newspaper, edited and managed entirely by its incarcerated staff. The newspaper’s objectives are multifaceted: to provide a sense of home and community for its readers, to foster moral and intellectual growth among the prisoners, and to dispel the misconceptions surrounding the rehabilitation of convicted felons. The ‘Prison Mirror’ has been a beacon of hope for those behind bars, offering a platform for self-expression and a chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of society.
