A Grip of Time (prison slang for a very long sentence behind bars)
takes readers into a world most know little about-a
maximum-security prison-and into the minds and hearts of the men
who live there. These men, who are serving out life sentences for
aggravated murder, join a fledgling Lifers' Writing Group started
by award-winning author Lauren Kessler. Over the course of three
years, meeting twice a month, the men reveal more and more about
themselves, their pasts, and the alternating drama and tedium of
their incarcerated lives. As they struggle with the weight of their
guilt and wonder if they should hope for a future outside prison
walls, Kessler struggles with the fiercely competing ideas of
rehabilitation and punishment, forgiveness and blame that are at
the heart of the American penal system. Gripping, intense, and
heartfelt, A Grip of Time: When Prison Is Your Life shows what a
lifetime with no hope of release looks like up-close.
