In a book valuable for novices and scholars alike, Jill Snodgrass compassionately and acutely interprets the experiences of Women Leaving Prison. A paragon for practical theological research, Snodgrass combines the stories and spiritual/religious experiences of females who have been incarcerated with an extensive analysis of the prison industrial complex to develop a comprehensive model for ministering to ‘returning sisters’ that almost any faith community could adapt. It provides a wealth of resources for faith-based prison ministries, and could be read by a book group wanting to understand the effects of mass incarceration on women.
