description: Dr. Reinhold Aman, an ex-federal prisoner and former professor of philology and medieval literature, just published Hillary Clinton's Pen A Guide to Life and Lingo in Federal Prison for our First Lady, as a helpful pal preparing her for life in the penitentiary. In addition to an encyclopedic glossary of prison life and language, Aman offers Ms. Clinton "Basic Survival Techniques" -- all the DOs and DON'Ts she may need to survive in prison. Witty, honest and sarcastic in his definitions of words, people and situations Hillary Clinton may encounter in prison, the author also scathingly denounces lawyers, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons -- Janet Reno's "cruel netherworld." Aman also urgently pleads for swift prison reforms for the sake of the tens of thousands of harmless and innocent prisoners and their suffering families and children, to whom he dedicates his book. The author used his time in federal prison to learn the mores, rituals, life and lingo of his fellow prisoners and vowed to prepare a survival guide for those who go to prison for the first time. Reinhold Aman's latest and hottest contribution to the study of contemporary speech is Hillary Clinton's Pen Pal, a brilliant combination of lexicography and satire in the manner of Ambrose Bierce. The book defines a wide range of words and phrases currently used in our federal prison system, while at the same time suggesting that our lying First Lady will soon need to learn them. But it is more than just a send-up of the mendacious Clintons. Aman's book is also a terrifying exposé of the senseless cruelties of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, as well as of a U.S. Department of Justice that grows increasingly insatiable and indiscriminate in its lust for convictions, property confiscation, and slave labor. - Dr. Joseph S. Salemi
