What we're reading this year

  • By Christine Montross, M.D.

    Waiting for an Echo takes a rare glimpse at incarceration in the United States. Psychiatrist and author, Christine Moss, spent her career treating severely ill psychiatric patients and began investigating why her patients got caught up in the legal system after being released from her care.

  • By Shon Hopwood

    Law Man: Memoir of a Jailhouse Lawyer is a truly compelling, personal story of curiosity, education, productivity, and rebuilding a future. In this memoir, Hopwood shares how his life changed from being a "good kid from a good Nebraska family" to serving ten years in federal prison and learning to help others in the process.

  • By Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law

    An interesting and powerful book exploring alternatives to incarceration and the true impact they have on those cycling through the system.

  • By Shaka Senghor

    Writing My Wrongs is a New York Times Bestseller - an unforgettable story about Shaka Senghor's nineteen-year incarceration and his experience with poverty, violence, fear, and redemption.
