Description
xLabyrinths of Corrections is a cross cutting literary masterpiece genre that uniquely explores the author's biographical footprints from his childhood experiences to early adulthood in one of Kenya's most dogmatic yet changing socio-cultural environment.
The book unmasks the author's gradual spiritual metamorphosis that propels him into anew community of faith. His Christian ministry calling as a prison chaplain subsequently affords him the rare opportunity to break into the world of his "six parishioners"- convicts.
It is generally accepted that a prison is a place for correction and rehabilitation, an edifice for moral rectitude. But do these expensive institutions meet their goals? And do they have the capacity to change a person? These are some of the issues that the author explores as he facilitates his selected clients through the reformation processes.
As a melting pot of Luo cognitive dissonance, African Christian philosophy, Criminology and literary artistry, this book is a valuable material not only to students of Religious studies, Criminology, Philosophy and Literature but general readership.
