Description
This book is a collection of writings by people serving a sentence of Life With Out Parole in Iowa's prisons. Each contribution provides insight to the reader of how these 27 people have changed the way they think and what they have accomplished since their conviction. Much attention is being given today to the cost of incarceration, Mass Incarceration, mental health issues in prison, the length of sentences, over-crowing in the prison system and issues of Re-entry when people are released back into society. But rarely, if ever, are you given the opportunity to hear or read the words of men or women who are currently serving a life sentence in Iowa. Rarely, if ever, do you have the opportunity to learn how they think and what they think or feel as they go about their lives inside the walls.This book is not like the movies. It does not glamorize the criminal life style nor does it dramatize the lives of prisoners. It is simply 27 lifers, serving Life With Out the possibility of Parole (LWOP) telling you what they are like and what they have done since being convicted, IN THEIR OWN WORDS.
