Breaking chains, building futures : pathways to redemption, education, and excellence

Andrisse, Stanley (author.). John Wiley & Sons, (publisher.).

Summary: "The book, authored by Dr. Stanley Andrisse, is a compilation of motivational and inspirational stories centered around twelve formerly incarcerated individuals whose lives underwent significant transformation through their encounters with Dr. Andrisse and participation in the Prison to Professionals (P2P) Scholars Program. Dr. Andrisse shares his personal journey from incarceration to becoming a successful scientist and the executive director of P2P, a nonprofit dedicated to aiding incarcerated individuals in pursuing higher education and achieving excellence. The co-authors collaborate with Dr. Andrisse to narrate their experiences, highlighting the impact of education and mentorship in reshaping their lives. Each author's chapter has a theme centered on a challenge they faced and overcame in their prison to professionals journey. Some of the themes include childhood sexual abuse, addiction, gun violence, life without parole, racial bias in sentencing, children of incarcerated parents, shackling of pregnant women, and more. The book serves as a source of inspiration, shedding light on the potential for positive change and success for those with or without a history of incarceration"--
