Description At thirteen, Dannie M. Martin first entered a jail. For the rest of his life, he would be in jail, on parole, or avoiding arrest. As a teenager, Martin found an unlikely sense of comradeship, a nickname, and a passion for words in juvenile halls. Outside, he developed a drug addiction that would rule his life. In Incorrigible, Martin recounts his life as a criminal and addict - and also as a writer, father, and friend. He writes unflinchingly of the racial tensions and riots in prison, but also the humanity and humor of the prisoners themselves. A series of articles for the San Francisco Chronicle gave Martin a chance to tell his own stories and share how the reality of prison life affected the convicts and their loved ones. Out of prison, Martin continued his cycle of crime and addiction that left him accepting awards while high on heroin and publishing novels while on the lam.

When Peter Sussman published it, Martin\'s dream of being a writer became reality. Fifty of Martin\'s Chronicle essays were compiled in the book Committing Journalism: The Prison Writings of Red Hog, with a running commentary by Sussman. Their on-going collaboration, about the world behind bars in America told through a convict\'s eyes, brought the two several prestigious journalism awards. Martin was released from FCI Phoenix in 1992, after serving twelve years for a thirty-three year sentence for bank rob
