Synopsis

Doin' Time is an in-depth look at life behind bars through a window of hope. This book contains over 300 rare photos taken inside prisons by four-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, Ron Kuntz. Join Rick on an incredible journey through America's prison system as he reflects on his 16 years of active involvement with the Bill Glass "Weekend of Champions." You'll meet inmates and officers whose lives have been transformed through a unique ministry approach of bringing guest celebrity athletes, entertainers, and lay counselors directly into the prison environment, including segregation lockdowns, death rows, and AIDS wards, to share their Christian commitment. Doin' Time won the 1997 International Angel Award for excellence in moral quality media.
