Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard
While He Was Breaking Out of Prison, She Was Trying to Break In.
Shakespeare professor and prison
volunteer Laura Bates thought she had seen it all. That is, until she
decided to teach Shakespeare in a place the bard had never been before —
supermax solitary confinement. In this unwelcoming place, surrounded by
inmates known as the worst of the worst, is Larry Newton. A convicted
murderer with several escape attempts under his belt and a brilliantly
agile mind on his shoulders, Larry was trying to break out of prison at
the same time Laura was fighting to get her program started behind bars.
Thus begins the most unlikely of friendships, one bonded by
Shakespeare and lasting years—a friendship that, in the end, would save
more than one life.
