The Felonist is a serialized memoir built from real prison journals written at Rikers, Bedford, Albion, and Danbury. Each episode weaves multiple entries into an unfiltered portrait of traumatic emotional collapse, personal reckoning, faith, motherhood, addiction, and the slow, deliberate work of rebuilding a self from the inside out — all while incarcerated. It’s a raw, intimate archive of survival, accountability, and the quiet hope that endures even in the darkest chapters. Contains explicit language and descriptions of incarceration, mental health struggles, addiction, and trauma.
