Pages: 336
INCARCERATION NATIONS: A JOURNEY TO JUSTIC IN
PRISONS AROUND THE WORLD caught my attention immediately. I have been involved in
prison ministry since 2004. I have experienced firsthand the injustice. The works
of power, dehumanizing, greed, politics, injustice, repercussion from what we
are born into, and the affects of such doings.
Before purchasing a book, – unless it is of a
favorite author – I scan the reviews. The first one I go to is a one star. I
like to know the best and worst of what people are saying before making a decision.
Next, I will take a peek in the book. This gives me a glimpse into the authors
writing. The voice, the flow, their knowledge of the basic rules of writing a
book. Due to a one star review, I was a little leery about ordering INCARCERATION
NATIONS, but the subject matter was too vital to pass up.
In my younger years, I thought introduction were
optional. Later in life, I found that to be far from the truth. Quite often,
they are a crucial part of the story. INCARCERATION NATIONS has an introduction
you don’t want to miss. From the first page, I was hooked. I don’t recall being
so quickly drawn into a non-fiction, to a point I felt I was reading a great
novel. MS. DREISINGER is without a doubt a gifted writer.
INCARCERATION NATIONS is a MUST read - for everyone.
For those working in the system, inmates – present and former – victims, and all
others. The issues surrounding our locked up nation has spiraled out of
control. To a point we MUST stop and rethink what we are doing. We must put an
end to this madness.
