Crossing the Yard: Thirty
Years as a Prison Volunteer
"Crossing the Yard is a quick,
engrossing read, a series of
well-strung anecdotes and
glosses on the prison lifestyle
that gradually builds to
something larger. Shelton
compares the diversity of his
encounters in prison to the
reach of a Dickensian novel,
and as with Dickens this
book's cast is a source of
strength. One never knows
who Shelton will meet next,
and seemingly every individual
exemplifies some aspect of life
in prison." - Scott Esposito,
The Quarterly Conversation
Watch a video: An interview of
Ken Lamberton and Richard
Shelton by UA News, October
2007.
