More importantly, the discussion goes beyond describing harm to offer concrete, feasible, sustainable, and evidence-based solutions that can be implemented to turn prisons into healing communities. Dr. Wolff reminds us that virtues like kindness, authenticity, persistence, empathy, consistency, humility, and respect are powerful tools for healing, calling for a complete change of ideology within prisons. Liliane Windsor, Ph.D., Associate Professor, University of Illinois-Champaign Urbana A book that will captivate both those new to this field and experts alike. Dr Wolff masterfully combines her decades of experience conducting research in prison with international evidence and powerful testimonies from incarcerated people. The book is engaging, informative and, above all, very human. It contextualizes some wrenching data, and offers practical suggestions for researchers and practitioners. A book to read, and read again.
