Unveiling Truths: Can Parole and Prison Really Transform Lives?
The significance of time (and aging) is crucial to the stories presented in Correction, as well as to the author’s conclusions.

At 17, Johnny and another young man were convicted in the killing of two police officers who were patrolling the Cabrini-Green housing development. Johnny insisted (and insists still) that he was innocent of the murders, but that did not stop him from being convicted and sentenced to 100-199 years (again, with the possibility of parole).
