Pen Pals
A true story told through real prison letters, court records and FBI files.
In 1976, Terry’s uncle and aunt were arrested for armed bank robbery in Salt Lake City. He was sentenced to thirty years. She was sentenced first, and fought the system from inside it — winning the right to marry him while she was already serving her sentence. Then the two of them were held by different prison systems entirely, and they wrote each other more than a thousand letters.
Terry spent twelve years turning those letters, along with FBI files, court records and grand jury transcripts, into Pen Pals — the first book of The Gamble — An American Reckoning.
Love, crime and consequence in the American justice system.
