Biography
Jean Trounstine is an activist, author and professor emerita at Middlesex Community College in Lowell, Massachusetts whose 6th book is "Boy With A Knife: A Story of Murder, Remorse, and a Prisoner’s Fight for Justice" (IG Publishing April, 2016). It explores the true story of Karter Kane Reed and the injustice of sentencing juveniles to adult prisons. Trounstine worked at Framingham Women’s Prison for ten years where she directed eight plays with prisoners. Her highly-praised book about that work, "Shakespeare Behind Bars: The Power of Drama in a Women’s Prison" has been featured on NPR, The Connection, Here and Now, and in numerous print publications here and abroad. In addition, she has spoken around the world on women in prison, co-founded the women’s branch of Changing Lives Through Literature, an award-winning alternative sentencing program featured in The New York Times and on The Today Show, and co-authored two books about the program. She published a book of poetry, "Almost Home Free", and co-edited the New England best-seller, "Why I’m Still Married: Women Write Their Hearts Out On Love, Loss, Sex, and Who Does the Dishes." Trounstine is on the steering committee of the Coalition for Effective Public Safety in Massachusetts. She takes apart the criminal legal system brick by brick for magazines and blogs such as DigBoston, Commonwealth Magazine, Boston Magazine, Truthout.org, and Huffington Post. Currently, she writes for the Boston Institute of Nonprofit Journalism (BINJ). In 2018, she was invited to Italy and awarded the Gramsci International Award for Theatre in Prison for her work in literature and theatre for the past 30 years.
