Doing Time with My Son

Book excerpt: This is a book for families, community leaders, and other stakeholders who are concerned about the impact of incarceration on individuals and families. If you have never experienced first-hand the incarceration of yourself or of a loved one, this book will give you an empathetic, but realistic, look at a struggle that has become a national crisis. And if you are a family member of an inmate or an inmate yourself, Doing Time will give voice to a struggle that you know only too well. This book will teach you that together we can always move forward with hope, knowing that no matter where we come from, what we've been through, and what lies ahead, love endures.
