- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023I bought this book because of my interest and concern for mass incarceration and the nonproductivity and senselessness of it all. My interest was peaked since my son has been tumbled around in the system for several years.
Each writing, poem, and short story is written by a person beneath an inmate number. To my delight, they are quite talented writers. The words invoked laughter, tears, and further deep felt concern about the many injustices that exist within our justice system. The publisher wanted to "inform and broaden dialogue" about our system of justice and rehabilitation. By bringing the voices of the incarcerated to the table, this book allows for a more balanced, realistic, and well informed platform for that conversation.
For me, this book was a quick read. The individual author's entries are thought provoking about the different reasons that brought them to the position they find themselves in today, their commonly shared history of traumas, their shared experiences of being on the inside, and their innermost thoughts. Each submission lead me wanting to flip the page to the next one.
I wish I had written this review prior to the holidays. I would have recommended it as a gift idea. As soon as I got half way through the book, I ordered two more copies as gifts. I also sent a copy to my son who is incarcerated at this time. He appreciated the book, as well as identified with it. If you have a loved one who is working their way through our system of justice and rehabilitation, I would still recommend sending this book to them as an "anytime" gift or Valentines day gift.
I would recommend the book to anybody, students of our justice system, families of the incarcerated, citizens concerned with mass incarceration and the inherent injustices of our failing system, and lovers of literature that feed our souls and humanity. Buy it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023The fact someone has the compassion and drive to help those incarcerated get their writing published is amazing.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024As a corrections nurse, I think this is an amazing read; so many times, people don’t see someone for more than their alleged crime(s), but I’ve had the opportunity to care for folks from all walks of life, each with a story to tell. Very interesting and well-done!
