This is the true story of a societal renegade and his ambition to find contentment. After months of emotional turmoil and self-righteous disdain for commonality, he walked off campus with a ruck-sack, intending to begin living purposefully. On his way toward the east coast, he pulled off an I-87 exit in upstate New York to take a spiritual sabbatical in the beautiful landscapes of the Adirondack Mountains. After a week of meditation and mental catharsis, he continued toward the east coast, making a detour through Montreal where he would be unjustly arrested. The Prison Chronicles is an enthralling discord detailing the clash between heinous violence and dehumanization among addicts, fiends, thieves, and murderers and the enduring good in all people-convicts and samaritans alike. Writing with a tenacious yet graceful fervor, Lawrence evokes a heartfelt revelation in the reader as he describes a gratitude for home and reverence for life with the culmination of his first novel.

San Quentin State Prison, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest, is notorious for once holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates’ lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo García, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform.

He's nearly beaten but is saved by the guards transferring them. When he arrives in his cell, he meets Bull, a big black muscular man who is more than unfriendly. To Rick's dismay, the cell mate he angered before transferring is also in the same prison. He's beaten up but Bull saves him. The black man lets Rick know that he gets a free save this time, but he'd better be ready to pay him back somehow later.

After the visit, Rick is cornered but saved by Bull again. Bull gives him an offer, he gets a visit from Chase and Rick gets protection. Rick declines the offer and is soon left without a protector. During the next conjugal visit, Rick lets Bull's offer slip by accident and Chase contemplates it. Rick orders Chase not to do anything and that he'll be safe. However, Chase is too caring to let his husband survive in such a dangerous prison. He calls up the prison and schedules a visit with Bull. Once Chase meets Bull, it's one wild conjugal visit...

A daring journalist goes behind bars to explore the redemptive power of books with bikers, bank robbers, and gunmen. An attack in London left Ann Walmsley unable to walk alone down the street, and shook her belief in the fundamental goodness of people. A few years later, when a friend asked her to participate in a bold new venture in a men's medium security prison, Ann had to weigh her curiosity and desire to be of service against her anxiety and fear. But she signed on, and for eighteen months went to a remote building at Collins Bay, meeting a group of heavily tattooed book club members without the presence of guards or security cameras. There was no wine and cheese, no plush furnishings. But a book club on the inside proved to be a place to share ideas and regain a sense of humanity. From The Grapes of Wrath to The Cellist of Sarajevo, Outliers to Infidel, the book discussions became a springboard for frank conversations about loss, anger, redemption, and loneliness. The books changed the men and the men changed Walmsley. Written with compassion and humour, The Prison Book Club is an eye-opening look at inmates and the penal system, and the possibilities of redemption.
