The First Twenty-Nine Days by Johnny L. Ellis and Abraham Rose This moving anthology of twenty personal memoirs told by former inmates and their loved ones is an excellent tool to educate the public about the trials and triumphs of newly released prisoners, thus helping to remove the "ex-con" stigma.
