Title: Inside Look at the Prisons We Pay For
Review: Jens Soering is the involuntary Thomas Merton of our times. This book is a short very well written view of the inside of our prisons. Jens is a tragic example of the very poor judgement exercised by people under 25 no matter how smart they are. He is serving 2 life terms without parole. You have to read Centering Prayer, Centering Practice to learn the gory details leading to his convictions. There has to be a better way of dealing with people who commit crimes because they are too young, too doped up or too mentally challenged to fully understand what they are doing. Mr. Soering suggests a few in this book. Read it.
