My Life with Lifers
|
Praise for My Life with LifersElaine Leeder shines a bright light on the men in San Quentin as she brings their voices to us. We hear the pertinent, intelligent, and poignant things they have to say, which might just enlighten us and give us pause and reflection.
—Mary Cone, Chairperson, Sonoma County Juvenile Justice Commission __________ Social worker, sociologist, university dean, and author, Leeder gets to the fundamentals of learning in her deeply personal and socially conscious accounts of her regular treks to San Quentin to teach classes to men who may never be released from prison. My Life With Lifers educates us about the penal system and enlightens us about prisoners' thirst for learning as it excites us about a true educator's experience of taking learning to the bereft and forgotten. —Kathleen Barry, Professor Emerita Pennsylvania State University __________ In her compelling book, My Life with Lifers, Elaine Leeder gives voice to the "real people with real stories" who are serving life sentences at San Quentin. She shares the lessons she learned watching these men begin the long and difficult process of redemption and transformation, and offers powerful policy recommendations that deserve to be taken seriously. —Professor Barbara Bloom, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies Sonoma State University |
