Reviews
This is an incredibly powerful book about abolition, redemption, transformation, and the power of story in the fight for justice. Andrisse reminds readers of the remarkable range of talent, intellect, skill, and strength among people locked in cages in the United States. Every student, teacher, teacher educator, community member, parent, researcher, policymaker, police, and correctional officer, interested in more deeply understanding the human condition in prisons and committed to reimagining the carceral system, should read this book. An undeniable invitation to reimagine opportunity structures for all citizenry, this book touches the heart and the mind.
Synopsis
A captivating story detailing how resilience and inner strength can be combined to overcome mountainous barriers to reach one's full potential. Growing up in Ferguson, Missouri, Stanley Andrisse began making poor decisions at a very young age. He started selling dope and was arrested for the first time at fourteen years old. By his early twenties, dope dealing had exponentially multiplied, and he found himself sitting in front of a judge facing twenty years to life on drug trafficking charges. The judge sentenced him to ten years in a maximum-security prison. Prison was an experience like none other he'd ever encountered. While challenged with a strong desire for self-renewal, he faced an environment that was not conducive for transformative change. From poor institutional structure and policies to individual institutionalized thinking and behaviors, he battled on a daily basis to retain and maintain his humanity. Upon release, and after several rejections, Stanley was accepted into a PhD program. He completed his PhD/MBA simultaneously and became an endocrinologist and impactful leader at Johns Hopkins Medicine, specializing in diabetes research.

    Excellent transaction. Great comms, excellent pricing; item's condition was better than advertised (used CD). CD was well packaged (very important for a fragile jewel case), and shipped in timely manner. Seller made this sale a positive experience. 5 Stars all the way!

    It was shipped so fast. It was packaged well. I had no fear of damage based on how well it was packaged. Honestly I thought it looked better in person than in the pictures. So it was as advertised, but better. It is now a part of my collection that I care deeply about. It's beautiful and I'm so grateful I was able to find one for such a great price. Thank you so much for taking care of it and me! I'm very sorry I'm late on the feedback, I've had a lot going on lately that I never had time.
