I don’t usually review zines that I don’t have a physical copy on my hands because without the physical copy it is hard to get a better understanding of the zine and its author. However I’ll do an exception for this particular one since the creator doesn’t have the luxury to go xerox and mail it. As you might have already figured out from the title of the zine, the author is in prison, serving a 6 year sentence. So the only distribution it gets is in the digital form, online.
This is an autobiographic mini-comic. The writer recounts his first days in prison, starting from the judge ruling against him. He presents the absolute absurdness of the life in prison. He describes his days, how he bears with the guards and their snitches, the fear of solitary and how boredom turns into depression.
Despite the horrible conditions that this comic was written under, the author manages to maintain a sense of humor and an optimistic attitude, which I can only imagine how important it must be when you are locked up.
