Paperback. This moving book provides an inside-view of life in prison, and people's remarkable ability to make sense of their lives there as they learn to meditate.

This is not only an empowering guide for those in prison, but a testament to the liberating power of peace, which, in spite of all obstacles, can be unlocked within us all. In this inspiring true story of how inner strength and kindness can overcome adversity, prisoners share how meditation changed their lives.
