When Robert Baldwin was forced to retire from his medical practice for health reasons, he went back to school and studied public policy. His life changed when he discovered that his previous racial attitudes and beliefs about issues such as capital punishment were indefensible. Over time, the more he learned about inequalities in the criminal justice system, the more he felt compelled to act.Today, Baldwin works in a two-part ministry: in one part, he visits with inmates on a personal level; in the other part, he teaches and preaches to people on the outside about the myths and misconceptions about prisons and criminal justice. His book is thoughtful and provocative and will prove enlightening to persons of all faiths.
