Title: Good Example of the Hell Prison inflicts on families
Product review: Lourdes is the wife of a Chicago Street Gang member who is serving a lengthy prison term for murder. She makes no apologies for him, and has great insight to how she ended up married to him.The heart of the book is her description of the pain she and her family experienced after he was convicted. The long trips to prison, the attempt to maintain a long distance relationship, the prison's unannounced, arbitrary transfers of her husband thousands of miles away. Through it all, both Lourdes and her husband determined not to give in to the madness, but to work to reform this arbitrary prison system--he from the inside, her by organizing other family members.This choice caused both some pain. But it seems to allowed both to survive an extremely difficult situation with their personal dignity intact. An inspiring book.
