Book Description
Incarceration. Pain. Change. Miracles. Spending time in jail isn’t easy for anyone who has been forced to have that experience. Spending time in jail for what you deserve is God’s and humankind’s justice. Spending time in jail out of God’s mercy is something completely different. This is what I want to share about in Jailhouse Journals. It was because of God’s justice that I got the sentence I deserved for the crimes I committed, but in his mercy, the experience in jail was more than what I had ever expected. To get the help I needed while in jail gave me hope not only for me but also for those who may be reading this to get help from the trap of sexual addiction. The purpose of these journals is to inspire them that God is not only real, but he is also a loving God and will help them change if they are willing to do so, and that there is actually a system of incarceration, called right living community, as a rehabilitation approach to serving a sentence rather than just doing hard time. I am hoping that maybe, just maybe, that anyone reading this can be averted from committing a senseless sexual crime against another because they now have hope and can work up the courage to get the help they need. Finally, this book is also for any victim of sexual offences committed against them so that they can receive inner healing and possibly even work up the ability to forgive their perpetrator for their horrendous acts. I have discovered that forgiveness sets the one doing the forgiving free emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, more so than the one being forgiven. These journals also show that there is a road map to getting specific help; the fact that proper counseling; good cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) courses; support groups such as AA, NA, SAA, and Celebrate Recovery, and even taking an amazing course developed by my chaplain that is called Spiritual Perspective on Sexuality as a means to receiving better emotional wholeness and well-being, making better decisions and developing better thinking patterns. Be set free. Receive healing. Experience transformation. Watch miracles flow!

Book Description
Innocent! That final verdict came after George Cardinal Pell endured a grueling four years of accusations, investigations, trials, public humiliations, and more than a year of imprisonment after being convicted by an Australian court of a crime he did not commit. Led off to jail in handcuffs, following his sentencing on March 13, 2019, the 78-year-old Australian prelate began what was meant to be six years in jail for "historical sexual assault offenses". Cardinal Pell endured more than thirteen months in solitary confinement, before the Australian High Court voted 7-0 to overturn his original convictions. His victory over injustice was not just personal, but one for the entire Catholic Church. Bearing no ill will toward his accusers, judges, prison workers,journalists, and those harboring and expressing hatred for him, the cardinal used his time in prison as a kind of "extended retreat". He eloquently filled notebook pages with is spiritual insights, prison experiences, and personal reflections on current events both inside and outside the Church, as well as moving prayers. In this second of three volumes, Cardinal Pell receives the terrible news that his first appeal is rejected. With the same grace, wisdom, and calm perseverance we see on display in Volume 1, he continues his quest for justice by appealing to the Australian High Court. Glimmers of hope emerge as more legal experts, including non-Catholics, join the chorus of those demanding that this miscarriage of justice be reversed.

Book Description
In the 1980s alone, some 100 periodicals were published by and for inmates of America's prisons. Unlike their peers who passed their sentences stamping out licence plates, these convicts spent their days like reporters in any community - looking for the story. Yet their own story, the lengthy history of their unique brand of journalism, remained largely unknown. In this volume James McGrath Morris seeks to address the history of this medium, the lives of the men and women who brought it to life, and the controversies that often surround it.

Book Description
“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.” –The New Yorker From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes Gone ’Til November, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010. In 2010, recording artist Lil Wayne was at the height of his career. A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, Gone ’Til November reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne’s own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.
