Prison, Poetry, Grace by Sharon Charde [US]:

'...When I called time, and the women began to put down their pens, I had to urge them to read, Once one or two had read, the rest were willing to follow. We heard stories of rape, of incest, a child’s death, birth in shackles, remembrances of childhood homes, roads not taken. A woman began to cry and another brought a large prison-sized roll of toilet paper to the table. The Spanish woman, Magdelena, read her work in Spanish, and the woman next to her translated.'
