Time To Turn Around Leslie Perry

In a time of upheaval and brutality in society, it is necessary to look at those incarcerated and reevaluate the journey that led them to their cage, behind steel doors and bars. 2020 has become a year where the chains of injustice and carnage thrive around the country. It is a time where second chances are all but forgotten and punishment is society's way of keeping the country stuck from moving forward toward change. While there are individuals in correctional facilities around the world that deserve to be chained...lost...forgotten and the key thrown away forever; there are others that have stumbled and swayed off the societal path that is deemed appropriate. These individuals have a story to tell. Their voices need to be heard. Time To Turn Around tells some of these stories. Through inmate reflections, poems, and artwork you will gain insight into the reality of time behind bars and the road which leads one to the cage. This book will illicit feelings of anger, hurt, sadness and hope. As you read, you may find yourself fighting a battle...between your head and your heart. Read and reflect. Realize that anyone, I mean anyone can end up behind bars. We need to work together and find a path that leads to lowering recidivism, finding better solutions, and healing our nation.
