The Jailhouse Lawyer by Calvin Duncan, Sophie Cull
Calvin Duncan was convicted of murder at nineteen and spent decades at Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola). With little formal education he taught himself the law, became a jailhouse lawyer who assisted fellow inmates and taught legal classes, and the book—co-written with Sophie Cull—traces his legal coming-of-age and examines the flaws of the criminal justice system.
