Welcome back to Part II of Keri Blakinger's story: a top-level ice skater who, after her skating career fell apart, fell apart herself. Keri ended up living on the streets shooting and selling heroin until 2010 when she was busted carrying Tupperware full of it. Now, after two and a half years in prison, she lives in Houston covering prisons herself as a top-level journalist for the Marshall Project.
Tonight, Keri will be celebrating the release of her new book at Brazos Bookstore. The location: 2421 Bissonnet Street Street in Houston, a moderated conversation with Keri from 6:30 to 7:30.
Her memoir Corrections In Ink can be found here: Corrections In Ink: A Memoir
