Prison Writings: From Anarchism to Revolutionary Communism

Thirty-nine pieces written from inside federal prison.

Prison Writings: From Anarchism to Revolutionary Communism collects essays, letters, poems, meditations, and political statements written by Daniel Alan Baker during his federal imprisonment from 2021 to 2023.

These are not recollections reconstructed years afterward. They are writings produced during confinement, preserving Baker’s thoughts as he experienced prison life: isolation and lockdowns, relationships with other prisoners, resistance, compassion, political conflict, self-criticism, and the gradual transformation of his political worldview.

Read together, the pieces document a movement from anarchism and individual action toward revolutionary communism and organized working-class politics.

The collection is both a primary-source record of imprisonment and a personal account of political transformation under confinement.
