Guest Blogger Submission Guidelines
If you are an ex-prisoner or know someone in prison with a true story you’d like to share with the readers of Jon’s Jail Journal, here are the submission guidelines:
Please keep the story within the context of this blog. Only prison stories (and occasionally crime stories) are acceptable, and they must be written by the prisoner/criminal involved. The story must not have been published previously on the Internet.
The readers of Jon’s Jail Journal like to make up their minds for themselves, so please don’t go overboard railing against your place of incarceration or the unfairness of the legal system. Detail your situation or environment, take the readers right there with you through your words.
To determine what has worked best in the past with the readers of Jon’s Jail Journal, please read the blog entries. Here are some of the blogs that have attracted the most comments:
Polish Avenger
Rapist on the Yard
Interview with a Blood
Stories that have worked have ranged from a gangster whacking a gangster to something as simple as a prisoner smuggling peanut butter into a classroom via his sock.
Along with the story, please send a short bio. Just a few sentences long describing your age, crimes, sentence length, and the name of your place of incarceration. If you wish your name and prison to remain anonymous, please state so.
If you are no longer in prison, the story should be typed up (preferably in Microsoft Word) and sent as an email attachment to writeinside@hotmail.com
If you are still in prison, my prefence is for you to mail it to a family member who can type it up and email it to writeinside@hotmail.com If you have no outside support, then I will accept the story via snail mail.
Please feel free to hyperlink your own website or blog to the story or bio.
Due to the lack of them on the internet, stories from women prisoners are also most welcome.
