Review of 'Letters from the Dhamma Brothers' on 'GoodReads'

It is amazing the kinds of obstacles one faces when you have the desire to help, or be helped in the prison systems in the United States. I'm not saying that I believe that all prisoners can, or have the desire to put in the effort to be 'changed' and kept out of the revolving door of incarceration. I just believe that we are at a point where something should be tried.
