Prison Living Magazine 

Prison inmates read magazine for advice 

Syleste Rodriguez - 12 News - May. 1, 2007

The dark lonely life behind prison walls has a glimmer of hope. The printed word is helping inmates serving time inside, succeed outside. 

"The content in Prison Living Magazine is geared towards the prisoner, so they can try to get a better outlook on life," says Prison Living Magazine Business Manager Carl Ridgeway. 

Inmates are left with little to do, so artwork thrives. It's showcased in Prison Living. So are articles on technology and book reviews. The Arizona publication even has its own "scenic" centerfold to help minds escape the drudgery of prison life.

"Because of the locations of most of our prisons, the scenery is not that great, so we try to give them that, the centerfold does that," Ridgeway says. 

Inmates make up 88% of subscribers nationwide. The $4 magazine also appeals to judges, lawyers and even victims' families. 

"We also have sections geared towards victims, so victims can voice their concerns and feelings," Ridgeway says. 

Inmates also share their feelings. Some even ask for forgiveness. Michelle Milliken is the founder. She's an Arizona inmate who says she's found the Lord. 

Editor Sandy Almendarez says everyone makes mistakes. "Yeah, they've made mistakes, they've messed up but, I've messed up too and I can relate to them," 

The editor is hoping the magazine will be a place to for new beginnings and a recipe for success.
