Give young people a view of prison life almost as intense as being there.
Stay in School, Stay out of Prison is an illustrated book by an insider
— a lifer in a maximum security prison. It covers the many freedoms
lost (many more than children can imagine) when one is in prison, the living
situation, death row and forms of execution, food, the danger of prison life
and much more. The haunting pen and ink drawings make this a
“scared straight” program in a book. This book works for
upper elementary, middle-school and even some high-school age
students.
