Why do we need enemies when we voluntarily participate in self-destruction? Trey is an inmate trying to live his life inside and outside the limitations of the prison walls. He has not fully accepted the confines of his current realm inside the institution. His dream and desire for a free life hinders him from learning and growing into the man that he can become if only he will sit down and listen to what God is trying to teach and show him. Trey will eventually begin to see that his circumstances are a result of his own choices.

In a stunning work of insight and hope, New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb once again reveals his unmatched talent for finding humanity in the lost and lonely and celebrates the transforming power of the written word. For several years, Lamb has taught writing to a group of women prisoners at York Correctional Institution in Connecticut. In this unforgettable collection, the women of York describe in their own words how they were imprisoned by abuse, rejection, and their own self-destructive impulses long before they entered the criminal justice system. Yet these are powerful stories of hope and healing, told by writers who have left victimhood behind. In his moving introduction, Lamb describes the incredible journey of expression and self-awareness the women took through their writing and shares how they challenged him as a teacher and as a fellow author. Couldn't Keep It to Myself is a true testament to the process of finding oneself and working toward a better day.

David was used to taking shortcuts. As a child he was a pathological liar. By the time he was 14, he had started to steal. At age 26, he was convicted of his first crime, taking clients’ funds, and sent to prison. After being released, he was convicted once again for criminal breach of trust and returned to serve his second sentence. Then in his late thirties, he stole close to $800,000 in a bank fraud, landing him in prison once again. There is another side of Anil’s story. He was sexually abused by an uncle when he was 8. He was initiated into sex by a tutor as a teenager. He grew up with an absent father and a mother that was too busy. His life and ambition were based solely on material things. How then did this convict become an icon of resilience at a National Day celebration? What happened to make him a prize-winning social entrepreneur worthy of investment? Why is he trusted to run a call centre in the men and women’s prisons? In The Longest Shortcut, Anil shares not just about this journey of redemption, but also the lessons he has learnt along the way about self-worth, parenting, leadership and hope. “Anil earned the trust of social impact investors and those around him to establish an organisation that has as its mission the giving of meaningful second chances.” — Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development & Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration

Deliberate self-harm (DSH) refers to intentionally self-inflicted injuries, and is mainly explained by abuse or neglect, severe psychopathy or at least a trait of a mental disorder. Most functions of DSH serve intrapersonal motives but interpersonal reasons are also found. These range from seeking for attention, pity and sympathy, to benefits like care, help or avoidance of unpleasant tasks or persons. To the latter belongs the deterrence of assaulters, a benefit, especially desirable for prisoners due to the hostile and brutal environment of prisons. This book scrutinizes two hypotheses of avoidance of attacks in prisons by the use of episodes of DSH as costly signals building upon the signaling theory developed in economics and biology. The first hypothesis is that DSH is an honest signal of fearlessness intended to repel other inmates from attacking. The second deals with the avoidance of assaulters by signaling madness via DSH to achieve relocation into an asylum. The underlying motive in this case is the need of protection, and thus, DSH serves as a cry for help to prison authorities. All necessary requirements of both hypotheses are examined, provided with evidence from existing research and analyzed with the help of mathematical models.

Dr. Eastman offers himself as a case study, returning to the sudden loss of his mother at just twenty-two months, and his upbringing as the last of six children parented by a hardworking but rigid and emotionally vacant father. In the context of depression-era poverty and emotional deprivation, he developed what is called a schizoid personality disorder. He sought safety and refuge in a self-made prison of both grandiose and painfully lonely imaginings. Obsessively intellectual, he developed his mental processes to avoid feeling and any true intimacy. The preoccupation with abstract technical and philosophical issues shut him away from people. He became addicted to risk and to sex; professional rules that interfered did not apply to him. He repeatedly reconfigured his life — careers and relationships — to protect his schizoid “cylinder” of isolation. Others suffered; so did Eastman. Yet buried deep within lay an unquenchable thirst for connection and a heroic determination to understand and to heal. Eastman’s relentlessly honest story unfolds with commentary at the end of each chapter to clarify the clinical picture of the schizoid personality, which is still not well understood. Unlike schizophrenia, in which the split exists between the real world and a distorted inner world, the schizoid protects a private inner self that is experienced as rich and special. The stilted outer self is often mistaken for disinterest, detachment, or even hostility. Unlike the psychopath who presents a convincingly normal outer persona, the schizoid may appear socially awkward, tightly controlled, eccentric, and often intellectually superior. The schizoid’s pathological focus on self is a recognizable human quality — writ very large, indeed. George Eastman’s memoir and his meticulous analysis of the disorder is a gift, and proof that that although we may be our own jailers and prisoners, we have the power to set both free.

What I hope is that people reading this book will bear in mind that we are human beings first, inmates second. --Bonnie Foreshaw In a stunning new work of insight and hope, New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb once again reveals his unmatched talent for finding the humanity in the lost and lonely and celebrates the transforming power of the written word. For the past several years, Lamb has taught writing to a group of women prisoners at York Correctional Institution. At first mistrustful of Lamb, one another, and the writing process, over time these students let down their guard, picked up their pens, and discovered their voices. In this unforgettable collection, the women of York describe in their own words how they were imprisoned by abuse, rejection, and their own self-destructive impulses long before they entered the criminal justice system. Yet these are stories of hope, humor, and triumph in the face of despair. Having used writing as a tool to unlock their creativity and begin the process of healing, these amazing writers have left victimhood behind. In his powerful introduction, Lamb describes the incredible journey of expression and self-awareness the women took through their writings and shares how they challenged him as a teacher and as a fellow author. In "Hair Chronicles," Tabatha Rowley tells her life history through her past hairstyles -- outer signals to the world each time she reinvented herself and eventually came to prize her own self-worth. Brenda Medina admits in "Hell, and How I got Here" that she continued to rebel in prison until her parents' abiding love made her realize that her misbehavior was hurting them and herself deeply. In "Faith, Power, and Pants," Bonnie Foreshaw describes how faith has carried her through trials in life and in prison and has allowed her to understand her past actions, to look toward the future, and to believe that she will once again taste home cooking. Couldn't Keep It to Myself is a true testament to the process of finding oneself and working toward a better day.

Are we all prisoners of our own minds. Imprisoned by our thoughts, ideas, culture, goals, a sense of belonging and everything else that comes with being a human and how we have learnt to live. You may go through a point in your journey in life when you feel trapped inside your mind. The insecurities, self doubt and everything else that could go with it, pile up, and somehow you find yourself imprisoned inside your own mind. I guess at times, we are guilty of overburdening ourselves, and in the process, also start manufacturing problems for ourselves. What the world thinks of us, or the desire to be liked and admired, chasing a goal or ambition. The need to succeed and get somewhere, can all get very taxing. Prisoner of a mind is not really a self help book, but rather a compilation of thoughts of a human mind. Most of us experience our life differently and in our own unique way. Learning from each other is how we get started. This book is dedicated to all those struggling human minds who find themselves on a journey. Chasing their goals, ambitions and everything else along the way. Life is a journey of continuity with no preconceived idea of a final destination. So I am learning to let a life live through me, and experience living for as long as it can.

It is possible to break free from our self-made prison. The power we possess is already within us just waiting to be unleashed. An imprisoned mind is the limited existence of our lives. It really doesn't matter if you are physically behind bars or not, everyone is a prisoner to something. A limited mindset tells us we cannot break free from our negative situations. We are hostages to the departure from rational thought, a condition created by a series of failures and abuses from others. A total lack of understanding of how our thinking is shaped from childhood until we are adults can cause us many problems throughout our lives. This book contains life lessons from one who was incarcerated for many years, not only physically, but mentally as well. With an easy to follow guide outside of complicated jargon and terms, JD Rutherford brings this deep knowledge of inner understanding and puts it into a language all can understand.

I received a five year prison sentence for crimes committed during my years of drug use and abuse. Drugs were the love of my life. Using drugs, alcohol, and other mind-altering chemicals took away and numbed the emotional pain and hurt I often felt inside. I wanted to feel good all the time. This selfish way of life only increased my problems and inflicted pain and hurt on many people. Ultimately, my addictive lifestyle destroyed all my dreams and came between me and every relationship I had. It cost me my family, jobs, friends, and my dignity. It diverted me from my responsibilities as a woman and a mother, and kept me from a real relationship with God. Drugs took me to the highest highs, the lowest lows, and the sickest places I could ever imagine. I almost died from drugs and some dangerous situations in my life. Amazingly, as you will discover in my story, my five year stint behind bars held the key to my freedom! Had I not gone to jail, I don't think I'd be alive today. Imprisonment led to my sobriety and salvation. I am an extreme makeover, far removed from the person I used to be. I offer my testimony in hopes of helping someone who is now living in a similar situation as I was in my past. Perhaps, revealing my experiences, and my eventual triumph over addiction, will save a life; or save someone from the anguish of wasting so many years, as I did. It took some time for me, but it happened when I totally surrendered my life to God.
