This book is an eye opening documentary of Tracey Brown's days and
nights spent in an environment most of us could never tolerate. It
is filled with beautiful scripture and exquisite poetry written by
Dr. Brown. Every day in jail presents something new to write about
and, incredibly, thank her Father, the Lord, for sending her way.
Although she spends her days shut off from the rest of the world,
she manages to find joy in the smallest of pleasures. Things that
we take for granted in our everyday lives, soon become cherished
gifts in the austere world of prison. Yet, Ms. Brown finds beauty
in all of it.
Does an airline pilot really need to surrender his tweezers at
airport security when he's about to board an aircraft equipped with
an axe on the back of the cockpit door? Can a mobile phone really
cause a major explosion at a gas station? And is there really a
good reason why you should be be prevented from swimming in a lake
more than a foot deep? These rules exist, and they exist in the
name of our own protection. But in this engrossing dissection of
global health, safety and security regulations, authors Tracey
Brown and Michael Hanlon dig a little deeper to discover the real
reasons behind many of the instructions we obey without questioning
their creators' motives. Their conclusions range from the startling
to the staggering, and in presenting them the authors seek to
empower readers to question the people and organisations who come
up with them in the first place. Previously published as In the
Interests of Safety.
