In a Blink of an Eye by Ja'Corey Thomas

“Until the lion writes his own story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”

In 2016, this innovative program launched at Cook County Jail with young men awaiting trial for violent offenses.Through the process of drafting, revising, illustrating and publishing memoirs, the Authors’ Circle develops reflection, critical thinking, literacy skills, conflict resolution and positive self-projection.
