"With this book Briney takes us behind the scenes of prisons. Focusing on the experiences of the men in prison, Briney talks about what it takes to reform the mind of the man behind bars. She discusses the psychosocial and spiritual programs through which male prisoners learn how to make sense of their lives, cultivate a sense of purpose, and come to realize their sense of worth. This renewed ability to focus on self is what Briney says ultimately is likely to prevent these men from committing crimes again and will help them in their efforts to integrate into the mainstream society." - Dr. Manacy Pai
