Hi guys. A reader wrote in asking a question I\u2019m embarrassingly ill-equipped to answer:<\/p>\n
I have been reading both your articles and that of Roger Olson<\/a> (from the Evangelical Patheos channel). You\u2019re in different circles but both, from time to time, have written about poor conditions and unjust practices in prisons and the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n
What would you recommend for a young recent college grad to<\/p>\n
A) Read on the subject<\/p>\n
B) Do to get involved to try to make things change, in whatever small way he can?<\/p>\n
Basically, I\u2019m asking you for books, articles, and organizations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You guys know better than I do! Email me eve_tushnet@yahoo.com , HMU on twitter<\/a> (as the kids say), etc. Here<\/a> is a booklist keyed to women\u2019s experiences in prison; here are two<\/a> twitters I follow<\/a> which deal with criminalization (a root cause here) and prisoners\u2019 rights; here<\/a> is a website on restorative justice; and here<\/a> is a startling story of prisoner\/guard interaction, from a source I trust. Patron saints of prisoners include Joseph Cafasso, Leonard of Noblac, and Maximilian Kolbe.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hi guys.
