Memoir in Progress
Eric has contracted with St. Martin's Press in New York to write a memoir about being wrongfully imprisoned in Nicaragua. Because even the most detailed accounts have only just skimmed the surface of the story, Eric's book will offer a complete and intimate account of his harrowing experience. In the end, however, a story is just a story unless it reaches beyond its specific events to communicate ideas or emotions that are universal. Eric intends that the book now in progress will document his personal ordeal as well as the hidden relationships between nations and societies. At the same time the book will chronicle the growth of this community, which sustained him in jail, and whose very existence helped bring about his release.
This site was created in November 2006 in order to create awareness of the illegal conviction and imprisonment of American citizen Eric Volz in Nicaragua. What emerged from the website was a phenomenal movement that brought together the international community in support of human rights by leveraging the social networking tools of the web to show solidarity and fight for justice. This is the community that was strengthened by injustice.
