Letters to a Prisoner
“A direct… insightful read that covers a wealth of prisoner related issues… The book’s overall tone is one of encouragement and compassion, and the wisdom that Valdes offers reflects close observation and caring… much of the advice is usefully pragmatic… how to deal with prison life… what skills they can develop in order to achieve a stronger sense of self and greater success going forward… The book also provides suggestions for non-prisoners, such as forming a ‘Prison Corps’ of college students to help inmates socialize by telling their stories.” – Kirkus Reviews
