Tony Vick has served almost three decades of a life with parole sentence in Tennessee. Before prison he lived as a closeted gay man; his Southern Baptist parents and an older brother have since died. While incarcerated he has worked as a tutor, clerk, and newspaper editor. He’s also begun book clubs, writing workshops, and prisoner-led elder care programs. He writes about captivity in the hope of contributing to the prison reform movement.
