'You Work Where?'

摘要

Ask the average Joe or Joan where the librarians are, and most likely they will respond with a comment about their friendly public neighborhood institution. It might come as a shock, then, that my books and I are deep inside a Level 5 prison, the only one of its kind in my state. Located in the Twin Cities suburb of Oak Park Heights, MN, this is as maximum as maximum-security gets. The 435 incarcerated men didn't end up here by accident-they make up a select group that other prisons in the state (or even sometimes other states) either can't or don't want to deal with and collectively present the greatest danger to the public.
