That, however, is the challenge of non-censorship. The plain and simple truth is that words matter, and they are not simply thrown out into a void rather, the words we write remain, they circle about, and all too often, we as a community are forced to contend with the careless rants of our members, their ill-thought words having been twisted and weaponized against us. ![]() I make this point while being confronted by some hard facts about incarcerated writers, those who so often demonstrate an overall vagrancy in discretion and poise, an absence of subtlety and wit, and an overindulgence in whiny and factually unsupported drivel. The Vanguard Incarcerated Press claims as its credo a commitment to the promotion of uncensored voices, and in consideration of this position, I would like to address the question of self-censorship and the need for critical accountability in incarcerated writing.
