[FYI]

The first of the planned amenities for US prisoners opens in the
Massachusetts jail where the campaigner was incarcerated in the 1940s

Malcolm X writes in his autobiography of how he spent hours reading in the
library at Norfolk Prison in Massachusetts. Now the cell that the human
rights activist is believed to have occupied is set to be transformed into
a library itself, thanks to the work of the poet and lawyer Reginald Dwayne
Betts.
