James Trust

"I'm James Trust and I'm a criminal. I would like to share with you my revolutionary book called End Prisonism. It highlights how our nation has a nearly 70% recidivism rate and a lot of that is due to how prison is structured. In order to have successful growth, we have to (first) start with the individual, then (second) the environment. Prison is a destructive environment; it reinforces destructive behavior so much so that when many of us get out of prison we don't have the civil tools necessary to be a productive citizen. Remember that recidivism rate? 

This is due to prisonism which is punitive dehumanization. It affects inmates, staff, and society as a whole. Families are plagued by it, and the whole prison system is plagued by it. Now if you would rather see me robbing the community, selling drugs to the community, or scamming the community, then this book is not for you. But if you believe or even have a little bit of hope in a vision to cure the criminal, then check out this book."
