Extended description

This anthology is a collection of heart-wrenching firsthand accounts of prisoners who ache for redemption. Inmates in their first, second, and third decades of incarceration wrench out awakenings of tragedy and remorse in these narratives. Focusing on events leading up and since incarceration, this compilation of nonfiction essays is a biting commentary on loss and revival that takes place every day inside penitentiaries throughout the U.S.

Included are twenty-three prisoners whose lucid and insightful narratives are intoxicating, shocking, and disturbing. Some are gloomy, some are witty, and others are wearily disheartening.
