Literary Las Vegas: Joyce Vought-Klopp Gilbert

Downtown Las Vegas resident Joyce Vought-Klopp Gilbert, who writes under the pen name C.J. Comstock, was inspired to write during the decades she spent in prison. The author wasn’t an inmate; she was a corrections officer in Pennsylvania, first at a women’s prison and then at Graterford Prison, the fourth-largest men’s prison in the country, where she worked as a training sergeant. One inmate inspired her to take up poetry, and a second encouraged her efforts in fiction.
