Incarcerated for Life

  

 
  Did you know that U.S. taxpayers spend nearly one hundred billion dollars every year just on housing criminals? With all the repeat offenders that grace our cells it would only make sense that a good portion of our prison costs go to rehabilitating criminals and teaching them to be productive members of our society. Surprisingly, not even 1% of the money Americans spend on prisons goes to rehabilitation.

Repeat offenders make up the majority of our prison population. 78.8% of motor vehicle thieves return to their cells. 77.4% of property thieves are rearrested and 2.5% of rapists are arrested for the same crime within three years of being released back into the population states the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics Website. With so little reform and so many repeat offenders the question arises, why isn’t something being done about it?

Good news, something is being done. Car Angel is leading the fight to distribute books into our prisons that inspire changes in the hearts of those who read them. Instead of telling criminals what society tells them, that they are worthless, our books tell them that they have value and encourage them to discover how they can become productive members of society.

Our books save taxpayers an estimated 160,000,000 a year from prisoners who were changed by reading our books and have not returned to their former lives.

Below is an excerpt from Death Sentence, one of the many books that have been released into the prison populous. See for yourself why our books inspire so many changes.
