About the Book
Prison bites. Chaplain Christine Marallen can’t wait to get there some days.
The United States criminal justice system has massive fan follows in our culture. The millions of men and women who traverse the hallways of our jails and prisons invite curiosity, and mass incarceration is big money—with unusual bedfellows juggling both the blame and the solutions.
While legislators and glam celebrities arm wrestle for headlines and tax dollars, Chaplain Christine Marallen convinces gang members not to off each other on the recreation yard. She teaches men how to forgive themselves for their blackout meth benders, and walks alongside women who regret selling their children’s futures to keep a man around. Inside three state prisons in Southwest Ohio, Marallen unravels her own strongholds and blind spots while clarifying prison truth with a larger Truth—such as, “despite the prison hierarchy, selling the sexual favors of a cellie to pay a debt does not square with divine justice.”
