A Way Up

More about the book

Focusing on the harsh realities of incarceration, the book examines how systemic issues trap individuals in a cycle of poverty and recidivism. It highlights that a significant number of those arrested come from low-income communities, where limited access to resources perpetuates their criminal behavior. The criminal justice system often prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation, leaving released individuals without the means to reintegrate into society. Consequently, many find themselves returning to jail within three years, struggling to escape the grip of poverty.
