“On a recent weekday afternoon, Dennis Lehane, the best-selling crime writer, stood in front of 17 imprisoned teenagers, trying to establish his street credentials. He grew up in a violent neighborhood, he told them, Dorchester, in Boston. ‘One or two made it out of my neighborhood,’ he said. ‘Sixteen other guys went down.’
“Mr. Lehane was on a tour to publicize his new story collection, Coronado (HarperCollins), and had made an unusual stop: at the Youthful Offender Program at the Orange County Jail here. The participants had been reading Coronado as part of a class called, in an effort to use language familiar to teenagers, Literature n’ Living.”
The article describes boys who have been accused of hiring a hit man to kill a witness to a murder, robbing a man and threatening to blow his leg off with a shotgun, armed robbery etc. Most will move on to adult prison.
Authors that have come to the jail include Ernest Gaines and Brian Jacques, who have both come twice.
