Short Description: From Bible college to life in prison. Scott takes readers through an emotional roller coaster from his addiction to porn at only nine years old to nearly murdering a relative and all the ominous details from his time in prison. But this book isn't entirely dark. There's an amazing plot twist when Scott meets an unusual ex-con named, Jesus. Get ready for a wild read that you'll never forget. Ever. Long Description: In August 1999, Scott Smith enrolled in Bible College with aspirations to become a minister for Jesus . . . Wait! That's not actually true. He only attended for the girls. A few years later, after engaging in a string of criminal activities, Scott found himself in a much different institution after being sentenced to life in prison-and the only "girls" were the HIV-positive transvestites who did their best to hide their beards. Within the first few days locked behind 60-foot high walls, Inmate #461419 quickly realized he wasn't prepared for the rampant gang violence, corrupt guards, and suicides. He was in a new type of hell on earth that his religious textbooks never mentioned. In this captivating memoir, Scott takes readers behind the walls of prison by sharing entries from his prohibited make-shift journal. He also reveals the intimate details that led to his life sentence-details that were once secret but now explain his astonishing story. In Jesus the Ex-Con, you will laugh, cry, and even wince, but this story is not entirely dark and sinister. You will also encounter a miraculous plot twist when Scott shares how he met an unusual convict who taught him how to escape the hell he created for himself. Although his story is filled with drama and pain, it's also laced with hope and redemption-and it will touch every reader's life! Get ready for a true story you'll never forget!

An examination of the efforts of faith-based organizations to expand the rights of the formerly incarcerated The use of religion to rehabilitate and redeem formerly incarcerated individuals has been a cultural touchstone of the modern era. Yet religious outreach to those with criminal records has typically been associated with an emphasis on private spirituality, with efforts focused on repentance, conversion, and restorative justice. This book sheds light on how faith-based organizations utilize the public arena, mobilizing to expand the social and political rights of former inmates. In “Jesus Saved an Ex-Con,” Edward Orozco Flores profiles Community Renewal Society and LA Voice, two faith-based organizations which have actively waged community organizing campaigns to expand the rights of people with records. He illuminates how these groups help the formerly incarcerated re-enter broader communities through the expansion of citizenship rights and participation in civic engagement. Most work on prisoner reentry has focused on how the behavior of those with records may be changed through interventions, rather than considering how those with records may change the society that receives them. Flores explores how the formerly incarcerated use redemption scripts to participate in civic engagement, to remove the felony conviction question from employment applications and to restrict the use of criminal background checks in housing and employment. He shows that people with records can redeem themselves while also challenging and changing the way society receives them.

Army brat, thief, alcoholic, Vietnam vet, drug user/dealer, convict, ex-con, Christ-follower, Reverend...these “titles” and more describe Jack Hager. In this autobiography, he recalls how prison guards found drugs in his cell block, prompting them to remove everything they could except what the courts declared they could not remove— the religious stuff. All he and the other prisoners were left with was a small stack of books and Bibles. After a couple of days of having nothing to do, he found a paperback book with the word “prison” in its title, which sparked his curiosity. Thinking he was going to be locked up for a long time, he started to read the book to learn more about prison life. He discovered the tale of an alcoholic World War II veteran, his run-in with the law, and his subsequent decision to be a Christian. Having no concept of who Jesus Christ was or what it meant to be a Christian, he then picked up one of the Bibles and began to read.
