For over a decade, Dr Wolff spent two or more days a week inside prisons in Pennsylvania and New Jersey teaching, building, and co-leading literacy and skill-building programs. She has received numerous awards for her prison-based service programs.

This book offers an extraordinary analysis of the nature, prevalence, and consequences of harm in the lives of people living in prisons. More importantly, the discussion goes beyond describing harm to offer concrete, feasible, sustainable, and evidence-based solutions that can be implemented to turn prisons into healing communities. Dr. Wolff reminds us that virtues like kindness, authenticity, persistence, empathy, consistency, humility, and respect are powerful tools for healing, calling for a complete change of ideology within prisons.
