We met a fellow named John Wannamaker, himself a prison survivor at the 8th Annual International Prisoner's Family Conference. He works now as a motivational speaker, who uses his story to highlight the injustices brought about by mass incarceration and to incite positive change within individuals. He has written a book called The Voice From Inside that tells of his own struggles as he navigated federal prison and turns a transparent lens on the federal prison system to examine its injustices and political structure. We plan to read it as soon as we can get our hands on it (somehow we walked out of the conference without it!). We were so impressed with John and really look forward to working with him in the future. Below is the link to his book.
