Last May, I did some work with the Student Publishing Initiative, a fantastic institution that helps students make their own publications -- and we're talking real, page-turner books, not student newspapers. One of the projects was with Horizon Academy in Rikers Island Jail, and I recently found out that they're using my work to help convice inmates to go to school.
