Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheba Harris has spent the last ten years in jail. But it's not quite what you think. As a nurse, Sheba has worked in a variety of correctional facilities from the from the smallest county jail to some of the largest penitentiaries in the country. Believing her career is a calling from on high, she walks among some of the worst of the worst every day. She has given care to a variety of criminals from drunk drivers to convicted murders and child molesters-care the general public would rather ignore. This care ranges from the common ailments of headaches and nausea to full blown mental disorders and even spiritual distress. A collection of entertaining and informative stories, author Sheba Harris' Behind the Razor Wire gives a rare look at those individuals who live, sometimes for years or a lifetime, in America's correctional system. Each individual has his or her own unique problems. Some are harder to teach than others, but there is a lesson to be learned from each and every one. Some prisoners learn from their mistakes. Others do not, at times with lethal consequences. Despite the various trials, Sheba believes that every experience displays the handiwork of God, and readers of all walks will be inspired by the wisdom and insight gained from Behind the Razor Wire. First and foremost, Sheba McBride-Harris is a nurse. She has a masters and bachelor degree in nursing and has worked for almost ten years in correctional facilities. Married to her high school sweetheart, Ms. Harris volunteers for several community agencies, including the American Cancer Society and local Christian-based charities. Ms. Harris was inducted into the International Honor Society of Nursing and the National Honors Society in 2006.

He received a prison sentence of fifteen years to life in a state that, at the time, did not parole prisoners with life sentences. Behind bars, Quan continued his downward spiral. This could have been the end of the story for Quan, as it is for many prisoners. But somewhere along the way, he discovered a new path-one that prompted him to commit to self-reflection, truth, and personal responsibility. Sparrow in the Razor Wire is Quan's story of transformation inside a place many see as the end of the road. In his book, he shares the journey of redemption and discovery that led to his ultimate freedom. He found that, no matter the prison, the key to unlocking the door is in each one of us.

Download or read book Living Black written by Mark S. Fleisher and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Black breaks the stereotype of poor African American neighborhoods as dysfunctional ghettos of helpless and hopeless people. Despite real and enduring poverty, the community described here—the historic North End of Champaign, Illinois—has a vibrant social life and strong ties among generations. But it operates on its own nonjudgmental terms—teen moms aren’t derided, school dropouts aren’t ridiculed, and parolees and ex-cons aren’t scorned. Mark S. Fleisher offers a window into daily life in this neighborhood, particularly through the stories of Mo and Memphis Washington, who fight to sustain a stable home for their children, and of Burpee, a local man who has returned to the North End to rebuild his life after years of crime and punishment in Chicago. “Outstanding” books for public & secondary school libraries from university presses, American Library Association
Book Synopsis Architecture as Cultural and Political Discourse by : Daniel Grinceri
Download or read book Architecture as Cultural and Political Discourse written by Daniel Grinceri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with cultural and political discourses that affect the production of architecture. It examines how these discursive mechanisms and technologies combine to normalise and aestheticise everyday practices. It queries the means by which buildings are appropriated to give shape and form to political aspirations and values. Architecture is not overtly political. It does not coerce people to behave in certain ways. However, architecture is constructed within the same rules and practices whereby people and communities self-govern and regulate themselves to think and act in certain ways. This book seeks to examine these rules through various case studies including: the reconstructed Notre Dame Cathedral, the Nazi era Munich Konigsplatz, Auschwitz concentration camp and the Prora resort, Sydney’s suburban race riots, and the Australian Immigration Detention Centre on Christmas Island.
Book Synopsis The New Convict Code by : Kit Cummings
Download or read book The New Convict Code written by Kit Cummings and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US prison industrial complex is in desperate need of repair. Corrections has become big business in America and a young, misguided generation is fueling a system built to fail. More and more kids are hitting the streets and lining up to go behind the razor wire. What is the solution? What if reformed felons could change the future of the next generation? Kit Cummings' bold vision-borne out of twelve years working with more than ten thousand offenders-flips the script on prison reform and disrupts the pipeline from schools to prisons. He replaces the current gang-inspired convict code with one that integrates respect, integrity, and dignity, giving prisoners the freedom to dream big dreams and become positive role models to a young generation at risk. Brothers who have been behind the wire share powerful lessons with our youth, redirecting their path and ending the violence in the streets and in their hearts. The proven success of Kit's Power of Peace Project lays the groundwork for a future with less violence, declining prison populations, and a more sound and just prison system.In 2010, Kit Cummings founded the Power of Peace Project. Using the experience he gained resolving conflict in some of the most dangerous areas in the world, he applies his principles to bring about change in prisons, schools, corporations, and the faith-based community. Kit has worked with the incarcerated in over a hundred prisons, jails, detention centers, and rehab facilities and served over ten thousand prisoners. The New Convict Code brings solutions to the growing epidemic of crime and violence we are witnessing among today's youth.
Book Synopsis Ten Years Inside Shelton Prison by : Robert L. Segress Ph. D.
Download or read book Ten Years Inside Shelton Prison written by Robert L. Segress Ph. D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Years inside Shelton Prison is a moving picture that captures what happens inside a prison. Shocking evil and joyful healings live together side by side where the Gospel goes successfully. A guard being stabbed to death with a ballpoint pen during a chapel service stands next to tears of joy running down the face of a Russian mafia member when he was born again. Robert walked into Shelton prison for the first time. As he walked past fences that were covered with razor wire blindingly reflecting the harsh sun, he was afraid. Iron gates slammed behind him. Guards were unaware of his trembling hands. Men in orange suits began to watch him. There was no place to run. This was the beginning of ten years in Shelton prison, where the author served the Lord. There were great blessings: fearful faces accepted the Lord Jesus and became new creatures in Christ. There were dangerous moments: an inmate cut Robert, forcing him to go through AIDS testing. Yet he also had a prisoner's scarred head laid on his shoulder, who after accepting Jesus smiled at him and said, "I needed that." The controlling purpose of Ten Years is to present the four biblical steps to freedom from incarceration, whether inside a prison or addicted outside of a prison. The four parts of this graphic book are: imprisoned, instruction, health, and freedom. The book concludes with two appendices on important subjects: "Learning How to Resist the Devil" and a famous therapy for treating addictions, "Family of Origin Therapy." After the appendices, thirty-three itemized summaries or compendia are given with the reference pages included. Also, there are referenced sites for ten of Robert's poems that are included in this prison journey log.

Book Synopsis Women Doing Life by : Lora Bex Lempert
Download or read book Women Doing Life written by Lora Bex Lempert and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Women Doing Life, Lora Bex Lempert examines the carceral experiences of women serving life sentences, presenting a typology of the ways that life-sentenced women grow and self-actualize, resist prison definitions, reflect on and own their criminal acts, and ultimately create meaningful lives behind prison walls. Looking beyond the explosive headlines that often characterize these women as monsters, Lempert offers rare insight into this vulnerable, little studied population. Her gendered analysis considers the ways that women do crime differently than men and how they have qualitatively different experiences of imprisonment than their male counterparts."--Provided by publisher.
