Rezensionen

"In her compelling book, Deanna Evans, a professor and practitioner in the field of higher education in prison, upends conventional Christian and non-religious ideas about transformation for students in prison. The perspectives and stories of her students offer vivid evidence for her argument that resilience, community and relationality must guide liberatory work in prisons. With insight and compassion, Evans shows us how people flourish in prisons despite its constant denial of their dignity and humanity."

- Tanya Erzen, author of God in Captivity: The Rise of Faith-Based Prisons in an Age of Mass Incarceration

"This text provides a set of lenses with which to better view and analyze the work we do in the higher education in prison space. Evans' analysis is thoughtful and deliberate, constructing a pathway toward more holistic program considerations."

- Dr. Erin S. Corbett, Second Chance Educational Alliance, Quinnipiac University
