Item Description...

This strong indictment of the current prison system, undertaken by two respected experts on behalf of the American Friends Service Committee, traces the history and features of our penal system, offers strong ethical and moral assessments of it, and lays out a whole new paradigm of criminal justice based on restorative justice and reconciliation. The book puts forward a 12-point plan for immediate changes. Beyond Prisons opens a long-needed national dialogue on our responsibilities as citizens and as a nation to provide remediation rather than mere retributive incarceration, answerable to the common good and the justice of God.

A must read!  Sep 3, 2007
Harmon and Laura give a thorough look at the state of our US prisons and jails. They have mined the extensive data that is available in order to give the reader the pertinent information in a succinct format. Their suggestions are timely and much needed! If you are interested in prison reform, are a minister looking to start a prison ministry, or just curious about the current state of our prisons, this book is a must read for you.
