Often called the ‘new’ Orange Is the New Black, Chandra Bozelko is an award-winning writer and thought leader on matters related to criminal justice reform. As a magna cum laude graduate of Princeton University who was in the middle of postgraduate study (law and public health), Chandra was an unlikely inmate. She was arrested on identity theft charges that remain on appeal, and served more than six years at the York Correctional Institution, Connecticut’s only state women’s prison.
Chandra was the first inmate to write a regular newspaper column from behind bars which was called “Prison Diaries.” Prison Diaries is now a weekly blog of columns written by Chandra while she was still incarcerated. She also has an award-winning syndicated column called The Outlaw, which appears in over 150 daily and weekly newspapers around the country. “We’re all outlaws because an outlaw simply is someone who’s “excluded from the benefit or protection of the law.” She says she’s here to spark transformation because “changing one person’s mind is a revolution.”
