Incorrigible By: Dannie M. Martin Praise for Committing Journalism: The Prison Writings of Red Hog: “One of the great political works of our time, a book that ought to be required reading for every American citizen.” -San Francisco Bay Guardian “Fascinating glimpses of prison life.” -Kirkus Review Praise for In the Hat: “Powerful, controlled writing… An unexpected bonus is the deadpan humor of his unadorned writing style. This is a treat.” -Publishers Weekly At thirteen, Dannie M. Martin first entered a jail. For the rest of his life, he would be in jail, on parole, or avoiding arrest. As a teenager, Martin found an unlikely sense of comradeship, a nickname, and a passion for words in juvenile halls. Outside, he developed a drug addiction that would rule his life. In Incorrigible, Martin recounts his life as a criminal and addict – and also as a writer, father, and friend. He writes unflinchingly of the racial tensions and riots in prison, but also the humanity and humor of the prisoners themselves. A series of articles for the San Francisco Chronicle gave Martin a chance to tell his own stories and share how the reality of prison life affected the convicts and their loved ones. Out of prison, Martin continued his cycle of crime and addiction that left him accepting awards while high on heroin and publishing novels while on the lam. Filled with sharply drawn characters of fellow criminals, addicts, prison guards, and lawyers, Incorrigible is a joy ride with an author unlike any other. Humane and funny, this is Martin’s brutally honest telling of his story.
