In The Life Inside: A Memoir of Prison, Family and Philosophy (Picador, 2022), Andy West writes about his experiences teaching philosophy in prisons in the United Kingdom. A touching memoir of hope and healing, The Life Inside chronicles how West asks his students challenging questions about life that also get him to reconsider the deep-seeded traumas and guilt he's been carrying for years. In the latest episode of PEN America’s Works of Justice podcast, PEN America Postgraduate Fellow Sophia Ramirez talks with West about incarceration in the UK, what led him to write the book, and his approach to writing about and for people who are incarcerated.
