My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption

If you have any illusions about our prison system being one of rehabilitation, Ian Manuel will break those ideas with his images of prison life in Florida. Confinement, made up incidents of non-compliance, stricter than societal behavior restrictions. As a 14 year old boy, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for a non-homicidal crime committed at the instigation of older boys. He saved himself through writing poetry, imaging a life of love and fulfillment, seeking reconciliation and determination. He was eventually discovered by the Equal Justice Initiative of Bryan Stevenson and the story evolves from there. A good read for sure.
