Infos

Even though I did not commit the offences for which I am accused, I am not innocent. I committed the one offense that includes all others. I am an anarchist. In the class war, I chose the side of the excluded and the underprivileged, the prosecuted and the accursed, the poor, the weak, and the oppressed.Writings from a Greek Prison is a literary work of biting realism. Tasos Theofilou gives testimony on the brutality of prison life, and its centrality in contemporary capitalism, through a blur of memoir, social commentary, free verse, and a glossary of the idiom used by inmates in Greek prisons.A political prisoner in Greece from 2012 to 2017, Theofilou's work centers on exposing the conditions of widespread exploitation and social struggle that persist in Greece as a result of the debt crisisin prisons as well as in mainstream society.
