"We’re All Doing Time, by Bo Lozoff. This simple, straightforward book is widely read by inmates for the message of spiritual hope it imparts... When you’re locked up, you are just sitting there with your mind... You’ll do things like go to church and read the Bible. You’ll be looking for something. This book, which had letters from ex-prisoners and current prisoners... teaches you how to meditate and pray and do yoga. This book, for me, it was my guide to getting free."
