{"product_id":"desert-pawns-gerard-lemoine-9781450526067","title":"Desert Pawns: Breaking The Cycle Of Reincarceration","description":"Who would you rather have released from prison--an unskilled violent predator or a stable, educated ex-offender with a future? Over 80% of the 2.3 million inmates in US prisons--including murderers--will be paroled. Within three years, nearly 70% will be rearrested--dubbed \"turnstile justice\" by NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In a private prison in the Southwest, a tenacious ex-cop-turned-teacher defies the odds. Against the wishes of administration, he recruits a courageous group of outside educators for a rigorous educational program. Violence plummets. Record numbers of inmates obtain their GEDs. Inmate self-esteem soars. Then-the prison terminates the program. Why? The current system, costing taxpayers $60 billion a year, perpetuates failure. After reading this book, you'll understand why.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerard Lemoine,Bob Kaplan MD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1450526063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450526067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.37d","brand":"Gerard Lemoine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436593000703,"sku":"9781450526067","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ff36070-0f31-40f6-af59-8e15d8689308.jpg?v=1777157092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/desert-pawns-gerard-lemoine-9781450526067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
