Chris Hedges: teaching Solzhenitsyn to prisoner students


This is an astonishing (though that's not unusual) piece of Sunday writing by Chris Hedges. It could be a Sunday sermon, he is, as well as being a former war correspondent, a Presbyterian minister. 

It is a reflection on his experience teaching students in the New Jersey prison system, and their reactions to The Gulag Archipelago. But there's nothing remote in his reflection, it relates to this last week, please read right to the end. 

Please use the internet to search for human decency. It's out there.
