Toews, with years of experience in prison work, shows how these
practices can change prison culture and society.
Written for an incarcerated audience, and for all those who work
with people in prison, this book also clearly outlines the
experiences and needs of this under-represented part of our
society. A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding
Series.
Side-by-side, time-lapse photos and interviews, separated by
twenty-five years, of people serving life sentences in prison, by
the bestselling author of The Little Book of Restorative Justice
"Shows the remarkable resilience of people sentenced to die in
prison and raises profound questions about a system of punishment
that has no means of recognizing the potential of people to
change." -Marc Mauer, senior adviser, The Sentencing Project, and
co-author (with Ashley Nellis) of The Meaning of Life "Life without
parole is a death sentence without an execution date." -Aaron Fox
(lifer) from Still Doing Life In 1996, Howard Zehr, a restorative
justice activist and photographer, published Doing Life, a book of
photo portraits of individuals serving life sentences without the
possibility of parole in Pennsylvania prisons. Twenty-five years
later, Zehr revisited many of the same individuals and photographed
them in the same poses. In Still Doing Life, Zehr and co-author
Barb Toews present the two photos of each individual side by side,
along with interviews conducted at the two different photo
sessions, creating a deeply moving of people who, for the past
quarter century, have been trying to live meaningful lives while
facing the likelihood that they will never be free. In the
tradition of other compelling photo books including Milton
Rogovin's Triptychs and Nicholas Nixon's The Brown Sisters, Still
Doing Life offers a riveting longitudinal look at a group of people
over an extended period of time-in this case with complex and
problematic implications for the American criminal justice system.
Each night in the United States, more than 200,000 men and women
incarcerated in state and federal prisons will go to sleep facing
the reality that they may die without ever returning home. There
could be no more compelling book to challenge readers to think
seriously about the consequences of life sentences.
