Roy Harper

Who is better cut out to write about escaping from Maximum Security and being an outlaw than someone who has lived through it all?

Roy Harper has been incarcerated in Mississippi since 1981 for armed robbery. He has gained nationwide notoriety for two highly publicized escapes from a maximum security prison in 1983 and 2000 and for his efforts in the courts to reduce brutality and injustice in American jails.

This is Harper's debut novel, the story of David "Tool" Roney, an outlaw on the run. SHANK is a novel of struggle, adventure and the complexities of justice.

SHANK, the first in a series of two books, is available on Amazon.

Roy was transferred to Colorado Department of Corrections in 2016. He would appreciate hearing from you. Send your letter to:
