The Marshall Project, in partnership with Crosscut, published an article on Friday about our author, Arthur Longworth, and the hurdles prisoners face when telling their stories.

It’s important to note that Arthur was raised by Washington State from a young age, was on the streets at 16, and entered prison with a seventh grade education. That context is missing from this as is any reference to the work Arthur does to improve the chances of those in the foster care system.
