Hey Grits. Good post at "Rethinking Re-entry" entitled "How Literature Saved His Life." Good reading considering the your recent posts about TDCJ book bans and current lawsuit about banned books at TDCJ. There is NO rehabilitation in TDCJ. It's all about punishment and revenge. The banning of books furthers this. It's keeps inmates from rehabilitating themselves. I confess I have a real bug up my rear about book bans and censorship. To me, it is simply a fear of knowledge.
