Long description:
In Imprisoned Minds, Erik Maloney tells the stories of men in prison that few people ever hear. Six gripping, first-person narratives of incarcerated men form his imprisoned mind concept: the men’s unimaginable childhood trauma and neglect set them on a pathway for prison or death. Maloney interviews his fellow prisoners with candor and savviness. He can do this because he is in prison alongside them—incarcerated for life at the age of twenty-one. Joined by a correctional scholar, Maloney presents a unique and informed perspective that blends lived experience with academic knowledge. A trauma-informed corrections can empower men to acknowledge and repair the harms of their past to regain control over their minds and their futures. Maloney has broken free from the mindset—and others can, too. Imprisoned Minds reminds us of the humanity of the nearly two million people behind bars in the United States and encourages solutions from within that can break the cycle of intergenerational incarceration.
"Imprisoned Minds takes readers on a profound psychological journey through the landscape of childhood trauma, physical incarceration, and the relentless desire for freedom. Maloney’s storytelling and Wright's insights amplify the voices of countless incarcerated men, shedding light on the broader societal issues they face. This compelling narrative reveals the heartbreaking reality of young minds trapped in the cycle of abuse and imprisonment—roaming cities, lingering on street corners, hidden in drug dens, confined in the back of police cars, and lying in hospital beds. If there is any book that can help break this cycle, Imprisoned Minds is it!"
