Corrections in Ink A Memoir by Keri Blakinger
"Correction in Ink" is a moving and intriguing book about author Blekinger's time in jail for drug charges. Blackinger's life takes a dark turn when her figure-skating partner abruptly departs their pairs team, starting a period of melancholy and drug usage. Eventually falling to heroin addiction during his final year at Cornell, the memoir vividly details his arrest on a false allegation of possession of a huge number of narcotics. Readers are told about the stormy years he spent behind prison, where he discovers not so much restraint as the horrific inhumanity of America's carvery system. Through strong prose, Blackinger exposes the lack of monitoring and compassion within prison walls, emphasizing that the institution itself is severely flawed and brutal.

Blekinger changed his life after his release by becoming an investigative journalist. His work now focuses on exposing the harsh realities of incarceration, resulting in much-needed improvements. Throughout the biography, she realizes her privilege and demonstrates a strong commitment to tackling racial injustices within the prison system, which disproportionately affect black and brown convicts. Blackinger's voice is both open and compassionate as she addresses her previous mistakes, her understanding of the dehumanizing aspect of confinement captivating and inspired by her personal experiences. Finally, "Corrections in Inc: A Memoir" is a beautifully written and engrossing portrayal of the complications of addiction, jail life, and privilege. Blackinger's story demonstrates the resilience and opportunity for reform in the US criminal justice system. Provides a thought-provoking viewpoint on the need. This memoir is a must-read for everyone interested in the human aspect of captivity and the possibility of positive transformation.
