{"product_id":"one-day-in-the-life-jens-soering-9781590563458","title":"One Day in the Life of 179212: Notes from an American Prison","description":"To a correctional facility in Virginia he is known as Prisoner 179212. But to a legion of journalists and legal reform activists he is Jens Soering, a German citizen who has endured for the past twenty-six years the harshest and most unforgiving punishment this country can offer--a life sentence without realistic hope of release, which some refer to as \"the other death penalty.\" Told with dry humor, One Day in the Life of 179212 provides an hour-by-hour survey of everyday life in an American medium-security facility with all of its attendant hardships, contradictions, and even revelations. Soering poignantly illustrates the importance of meditation and faith when confronted with extreme adversity, in addition to making a highly compelling case for prison reform. Although this inspiring, eloquent memoir recounts just a day in the life of one man, much like Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, it provides a powerful voice for the over two million men and women lost in the maze of America's prison-industrial complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jens Soering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159056345X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590563458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lantern Publishing \u0026amp; Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Jens Soering","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202978758911,"sku":"9781590563458","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_325c0759-41d2-4a13-a04a-886fa600aa5b.jpg?v=1756833961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-day-in-the-life-jens-soering-9781590563458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
