A story of a man born at home in the middle of the night, who became the tough kid, full-fledged criminal, convict, business owner and family man. You see his developmental years where he learned, from a father who drove a beer-truck during prohibition, that violence is an acceptable part of daily life. You are a part of his transition from a man who is respected by criminals in prison to a person respected by people in society and the struggles God helped him survive. The author attempts to expose the influence God and powerful people have had on him from Msko Nini to a WWII veteran. The author tries to give you a glimpse of a world that many people do not even know exists. He tries to let you see how, through small increments, he was able to become a person who could live outside the law without his conscience keeping him awake at night. Through all of this he wants you to know that he alone shoulders the responsibility for the decisions he made and what effect those decisions had on his life. The author was born Lewis Martin Dickerson on May 17, 1945. He went from being a violent youth to being a criminal. Convictions for Armed Robbery, Kidnapping, Assault with Intent to commit 2nd degree Murder and Feloniously Escaping Jail kept him in prison for over 9 years. His transformation began in that prison and continues to this day. He was introduced to God in an unusual way. After his release he continued to work toward becoming a person who could live in and contribute to society. He completed Bachelors in Social Work Degree in 1984 at Freed-Hardeman College. Has worked as a Child Protective Service worker and owned and operated a construction company that employed 24 people at one time.

The Remarkable Story of How One Man Defied the Odds At 18, Paul Wood thought he had lost everything. He had committed an act he knew would send him to prison for many years. To a young man like Paul, it might as well have been for the rest of his life. Plunged into a nightmarish world of extreme violence, solitary confinement, gang allegiances, drugs, vindictive wardens and regular stabbings, Paul spent the next 11 years confined in some of New Zealand's toughest jails. Based on an account of his experiences he wrote while still inside, How to Escape from Prison chronicles Paul's road to redemption and a new life as a doctor of psychology, helping others strive to fulfil their potential and develop the resilience to flourish, even in adversity. This is a gripping read about a man who sank to the depths of despair, before scaling the heights of true freedom. 'Paul's transformation is unbelievable. We are sometimes brought up to think a zebra can't change its stripes. Paul Wood's story is proof that anyone can change. It gives you great courage that you can do anything.' - Sir John Kirwan

This innovative volume exposes dementia as a condition that the aging prison population is increasingly facing. Going beyond exploring the need to understand dementia within prison populations, it argues that healthcare workers and prison staff must ensure that prisoners developing dementia during their sentence are identified and supported. Dementia in Prison covers three key areas: • Healthcare services in prison settings and how these affect the rapidly aging prison population, • The human rights of prisoners with dementia, alongside the ethics of healthcare in this environment, • The current state of support for prisoners with dementia and any recommendations for future assessment, diagnosis, and policies. This provocative book will be invaluable to scholars in the fields of public health, criminology and medical sociology as well as nurses and prison staff.

"Unshackled Potential: Unlocking Potential Behind Bars—A Pathway to Prosperity Beyond Prison" is a groundbreaking guide that serves as a beacon of hope for those incarcerated and their loved ones. This book is a comprehensive manual designed to empower inmates with the knowledge and strategies necessary to rise above their circumstances, reorient their outlook, and prepare for a prosperous life post-incarceration. The transformative journey starts from within the prison walls. This book challenges the notion that prison is solely a punishment, instead presenting it as an opportunity for self-improvement, growth, and positive change. With a blend of practical advice and psychological insight, the book tackles real issues such as navigating prison life, overcoming negative influences, managing self-defeating thoughts, and cultivating a mindset of resilience and optimism. The guide also explores powerful tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for self-improvement and offers coping mechanisms to handle the anxiety, guilt, fear, and pessimism that can pervade prison life. It emphasizes the importance of discipline, self-control, and nonviolent communication in personal transformation. It further prepares the reader for life beyond the prison walls, with chapters dedicated to goal setting, beating recidivism, redefining identity, and job hunting after release. Inmates will learn how to navigate society, start a service business, and develop financial literacy— essential skills for reintegrating into the community successfully. To ensure a holistic approach, the book underscores the significance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, continuing education, joining support groups, volunteering in the community, and securing stable housing post-incarceration. It empowers the inmate to transform from being a prisoner to a change agent, advocating for systemic reforms and societal acceptance. "Unshackled Potential" is more than just a book; it is a roadmap to personal reinvention. This resource is not just for inmates; it is equally insightful for their families and friends who wish to understand and support their loved ones during this challenging journey. This is a testament to the enduring human spirit that, even when shackled, can find the strength to unlock its potential and soar toward a prosperous future.

An authoritative and thought-provoking argument for offering free college in prisons—from the former dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Anthony Cardenales was a stickup artist in the Bronx before spending seventeen years in prison. Today he is a senior manager at a recycling plant in Westchester, New York. He attributes his ability to turn his life around to the college degree he earned in prison. Many college-in-prison graduates achieve similar success and the positive ripple effects for their families and communities, and for the country as a whole, are dramatic. College-in-prison programs have been shown to greatly reduce recidivism. They increase post-prison employment, allowing the formerly incarcerated to better support their families and to reintegrate successfully into their communities. College programs also decrease violence within prisons, improving conditions for both correction officers and the incarcerated. Liberating Minds eloquently makes the case for these benefits and also illustrates them through the stories of formerly incarcerated college students. As the country confronts its legacy of over-incarceration, college-in-prison provides a corrective on the path back to a more democratic and humane society. “Lagemann includes intensive research, but her most powerful supporting evidence comes from the anecdotes of former prisoners who have become published poets, social workers, and nonprofit leaders.”—Publishers Weekly

Every day our mainstream media tell us about terrible crimes that have been committed and the prison sentences that the perpetrators received. In truth however, the majority of prison sentences are not widely reported. We naturally, but incorrectly, assume that all people in prison must have committed crimes as heinous as the newsworthy examples.They have not.We are programmed to be grateful for prisons, relieved that people are in prison and convinced that prisons keep us safe.They do not.Hide and seek has been played for too long, the countdown has finished, "coming ready or not!" has been called.The truth has now been found.It was discovered by a man with a big heart, a listening ear and an awful lot of spare time. The kind of spare time that can only be found by someone serving a prison sentence, locked away from family and society, with strangers in those dark corners where few care (or dare) to look.'Inspiring' - This work reveals the good that many people in prison do for others, how they change for the better, (despite facing overwhelming barriers to rehabilitation in our disintegrating prison system) and how they could be better supported to begin a new chapter in their lives.

Understanding reentry experiences after incarceration Prison in the United States often has a revolving door, with droves of formerly incarcerated people ultimately finding themselves behind bars again. In Beyond Recidivism, Andrea Leverentz, Elsa Y. Chen, and Johnna Christian bring together a leading group of interdisciplinary scholars to examine this phenomenon using several approaches to research on recently released prisoners returning to their lives. They focus on the social context of reentry and look at the stories returning prisoners tell, including such key issues as when they choose to reveal (or not) their criminal histories. Drawing on contemporary studies, contributors examine the best ideas that have emerged over the last decade to understanding the challenges prisoners face upon reentering society. Together, they present a complete picture of prisoner reentry, including real-world recommendations for policies to ensure the well-being of returning prisoners, regardless of their past mistakes.
