Overview

This moving book provides an inside-view of life in prison, and people's remarkable ability to make sense of their lives there as they learn to meditate. Drawing on years of intimate correspondence between prisoners and charity workers of the Prison Phoenix Trust, it traces prisoners' struggles through the harshest of circumstances to find authenticity, friendship and hope. This is not only an empowering guide for those in prison, but a testament to the liberating power of peace, which, in spite of all obstacles, can be unlocked within us all.

What a wonderful book. Clear, friendly, supportive, this is a superb manual and introduction to meditation practice, not just for people inside, but for all of us, inside and out. The writing from the prisoners is moving and luminous, and shows us all what meditation can do for a human being - the book is a teaching and a gift for us all. -- Henry Shukman, writer, poet and Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center, USA
