Paul Modrowski is a prisoner at Stateville Prison with a natural life sentence based on being convicted of murder under the Illinois Accountability law. That means he never committed a murder but was found accountable for someone else's actions.

Paul writes a blog about life in prison. This is likely the most indepth look inside a prison written by someone on the inside.

Paul's latest blog entry, posted today, is about assisting another prisoner with a post conviction appeal. Many important issues are raised in the blog.
