David Babb
After a 60-foot fall during an attempted escape, David Babb soon discovered that true freedom and fulfillment would only be found through serious introspection, sincere self-evaluation, and a pen and paper.

The former reporter now publishes a nationally distributed prison scene paper, The Corcoran Sun. Other works include "Icicle Bill," "Goodbye Natalie," and "The Last Lockdown."

He says, "It's not how far you fall, it's how you land that matters."
