   I'm an incarcerated journalist.
   Today Securus, a predatory prison
   communication co, silenced journalists.
   With no warning they deleted all drafts
   of writing. Years of work. Manuscripts.
   Articles. Everything gone. We're no
   longer able to save drafts. Now near
   impossible to write.

     Today, award-winning incarcerated journalist Christopher Blackwell announces that all his life's work has been wiped out by the prison communications company Securus.

     I was the judge who selected Chris for his INN Nonprofit News Award this year. To know that one business profiting off incarcerated folks could decide to wipe out a respected journalist's lifelong work is infuriating. This is a shameful assault on freedom of the press
