TEXAS LETTERS Volume 2 is the second installment of an ongoing anthology written by a growing and diverse ensemble of people who have spent months, years, and decades suffering the harsh and unrelenting conditions of solitary confinement in Texas - the state with the largest prison system in America and the most individuals in long-term solitary confinement (with over 500 who have endured these conditions for a decade or longer). Comprising 38 raw, unedited letters by 30 unique voices, Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 left off, continuing to expose the brutalities of torturous isolation throughout its more than 450 pages.
Proceeds go to the writers featured in the book. Anticipated to ship end of May.

"By amplifying some of those most marginalised and invisibilised to wider society, Texas Letters offers them a voice and archive where their experiences will not be erased, but heard and seen."
