Talk:Sarah Shourd

Some proposed changes
Sarah Shourd is a journalist, author and educator based in Oakland, California. Over the last five years, her work has focused on exposing the cruelty and overuse of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons. She has traveled the country extensively as a public speaker and as a University of California, Berkeley Visiting Scholar. She has conducted more than 75 interviews with prisoners in isolation. Out of this research emerged several works: “The BOX,” a journalistic piece of investigative theater; an anthology, “Hell Is a Very Small Place: Voices From Solitary Confinement” and numerous articles and op-eds. In 2011, Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt published “A Sliver of Light,” the memoir she co-authored about her experience being held as a political hostage by the Iranian government from 2009 to 2010. She was awarded the 2016 Community Hero Award by San Francisco’s GLIDE Memorial Church and, as a #LoveArmy Fellow at The Dream Corps, is developing a podcast titled “Of Two Minds.” source: https://jsk.stanford.edu/fellows/class-of-2019/sarah-shourd/ Jjwalkers (talk) 15:10, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

NPOV and tone
The article is too promotional and biased in favor of the subject's POV. Wikipedia is not here to promote a particular viewpoint or interpretation of events. Laval (talk) 22:19, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
