Letters for the Ages Behind Bars is a history of imprisonment told through the letters of people incarcerated over many centuries, for crimes committed or sometimes even for no reason at all. It is a story that runs from St Paul right up to the present day. The act of depriving someone of their liberty is one of humankind's most enduring responses to 'crime' through history. What society has sought to achieve over the years by doing so has shifted across the centuries and there is now a variety of purposes: to express disapproval; for the purpose of straight-up punishment through the removal of freedom; to protect the general public; to rehabilitate, perhaps even to forget about those with whom we simply cannot cope. The letters assembled here come from all parts of the world, and from time immemorial: Thomas Cromwell, Mary Queen of Scots, Eamon De Valera, Al Capone, Martin Luther King and many more. These letters not only reveal what it is like to be behind bars, but raise issues that are still of pressing interest for us today - such as the death penalty, miscarriages of justice, redemption and social change. They shed light on a system which is primarily one of contradictions – there are letters which inspire, horrify, letters which awe and condemn – even letters which make you laugh or cry.

'I was suddenly plunged into the most brilliant light, but it did not hurt my eyes or burn my skin. I could not see the sun; it was as if the light was everywhere so nothing cast a shadow. I did not feel air moving against my skin; the absence of that seemed strange. I could not remember having died; I was alive in the body, and then I was here.' Drink deeply from the fountain of God's love as you open and read the Kairos Letters, written to women inmates who are believers in Jesus Christ. Jesus's love satisfies as nothing else can, nourishing in us a garden of delight for our Lord to dwell in. Immerse yourself in the imagery of God's gardens from the Bible to let this love fill and overcome you. Each of these letters takes you into a different garden where God shows his amazing love in an amazing way. Learn about the private garden he has planted in your heart and the plants that are growing there. Meet face to face with the Gardener of your heart in the paradise he is creating in you.

Letters have long been an outlet for political expression, whether they articulate the personal politics of the daily routine or the political views of individuals who witness or participate in dramatic events. In addition, letters can be unusually revealing records of the relations between men and women. Though letters have frequently been studied as a privileged space for literary, social, and cultural expression, the three-dimensional relationship of politics, gender, and letters has not been the focus of an entire volume. The nineteen essays in this collection examine how the gendered nature of political literacy is revealed over a 250-year period through letter writing, whether the writer is famous or unknown, the wife of a prominent politician or activist, a political prisoner or political militant. Ranging wide in terms of subject matter and geography, the contributors examine correspondence that ponders familial concerns, as well as letters providing political commentary on the effects of war or revolution on everyday life. Among the impressive group of international scholars are Jim Allen, Clare Brant, Edith Gelles, Jane Rendall, and Siân Reynolds.

Letters to a Lifer provides a rare insight into life without parole (LWOP) for juveniles in the USA. A true story from Pennsylvania, it is a compelling tale of faith and redemption. Cindy Sanford tells how a chance correspondence with Ken, a prisoner artist, began to change her entrenched ideas about offenders. Her book now adds voice to the work of the USA’s National Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth and will also be of interest to students of restorative justice. In 1999, America’s Most Wanted broadcast details of a notorious crime. Twelve years later Cindy was introduced to Ken, one of the two boys convicted, through his remarkable wildlife art. By then a young man, Ken had spent half his life in prison. Initially wary, Cindy was surprised to find him humble, polite and deeply grateful for her interest. Gradually she and her family were able to look beyond his crime to the person he had become. Despite a hardening of attitudes generally towards offenders in the USA and other parts of the western world, Letters to a Lifer shows why the campaign against LWOP sentences for juveniles is nonetheless gaining momentum.

"Living today as if tomorrow never comes." After surviving an attempted suicide, Tom Jones, a shy Christian adolescent, learns to use writing in his diary as a means of communicating with himself as the family settles in on a new life in West Texas. High school football in Texas seems to be the state's unofficial religion, yet it's the emergence of television, "the new God," that starts to have a stronghold in shaping Tom's newly found pop culture world. "The Game" begins when star quarterback Reggie Thomas moves in across the street and takes Tom under his wings, tutoring Tom on the road to the end of innocence. Will the duo score on a last-ditch drive to escape with their souls in contact, or find how easy it is to get lost in the forbidding world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll? Just as the Stone Ages and Ice Ages were both lost to history, Tom's diary journals how the Teen Age somehow got lost in history as this page-turner continues to unfold masterfully, sure to leave readers laughing at the anecdotes on an unforgettable journey down memory lane. ***** Tony Gaines's first novel is a creative marvel. It's witty, informative, thought-provoking, with well-placed twists throughout the entire novel. There were so many lesson learned. ""-Gina Price, Former Abilene High School Alumni Awesome read: it's fast-paced, funny, with a shocking twist. The ending caught me by total surprise.

In I Have Waited for You: Letters from Prison, the voices of individuals who are incarcerated weave together with author Ashley Asti's to tell the moving testimonies of people behind bars. But this is not a book about prison. This is a book about human beings. About connection, about seeing and being seen. This is a book about change. And, mostly, this is a book about love. This book is not a statement against mass incarceration because it overtly addresses the injustice system, but because the human beings who happen to be incarcerated who speak within it are, in themselves--in their humanity--bold testimonies against it. A powerful collection of stories, composed entirely in the form of letters, this book soars in its display of connection, compassion, mercy, and friendship.
