Rikers Island

Más información sobre el libro

This book about Rikers Island uses the Art of War as a tool to understand how to overcome being imprisoned in the largest jail in the world. "Rikers Island" allows the reader to understand the individual incarcerated from a more human perspective. The books intent is to create change through awareness of a human crisis that is understood in less than humane terms. The book identifies education as a tool for overcoming a huge prison and jail population that is 98 percent Black and Hispanic. Advocacy for the reinstitution of the college degree program is an underlying theme that develops as a solution to the Black Diaspora.
