Excerpt from Memoir of Thomas Drummond, R. E., F. R. A.S., Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1835 to 1840 To my friend Mr Robert Cox I have to express my obligations for valuable assistance in putting the work through the press, and in supplying a Copious index. Should this memoir of a noble man be of use as a contribution to the information of the public on Irish subjects, it will serve a purpose which, as subsidiary to the interest more properly biographical, I have had much at heart in writing it. The present state of Ireland might justify some curiosity as to its history and condition in past times. In this work will be found a record - very imperfect it is true - of the only great effort yet put forth for the renovation of that unhappy land. It was a failure. The Administration, however, which made the attempt, and in which Mr Drummond was a leading figure, removed one obstacle to the renovation by extinguish ing all just complaint of misgovernment. Since 1835 the spirit of the Executive in Ireland has been excel lent. The evils to be remedied, however, have lain, and lie, too deep in the institutions and jurisprudence of the country to be reached by the Executive; and till British statesmen fearlessly face them in a perfectly honest and just spirit, the annals of Ireland must con tinue to be, as heretofore, a record of the misery and unrest of the people, their conspiracies and attempts at rebellion, their punishment and humiliation.

San Quentin State Prison, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest, is notorious for once holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates’ lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo García, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform.
