Synopsis

More Than My Sentence: The Lives Built After Incarceration is a collaborative nonfiction collection featuring firsthand stories from individuals who have experienced incarceration, reentry, and the process of rebuilding their lives afterward.

Each contributor shares their personal journey, including the circumstances that shaped their incarceration, the impact it had on their life and relationships, the challenges of returning home, the turning points that influenced their direction, and the lives they are creating today.

The book centers the people behind the records and sentences, highlighting themes of accountability, resilience, growth, purpose, and rebuilding. Rather than focusing only on incarceration itself, the collection examines what happens after release and the work required to create a different future.

Curated by Ms Cat, the book is the first volume in the This Should’ve Took Me Out series, which features real-life stories of survival, transformation, and perseverance.
