These pieces chart neglect and humiliation, the gaslighting that turns pleas into \"problems,\" the endless waiting that grinds a person down to a number-and the stubborn, flickering will to stay whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmid the silence are the stories we rarely hear: neurodiverse prisoners, including the one in four with ADHD, punished for symptoms instead of supported for needs. Here, repetition becomes a heartbeat; broken promises, a refrain; resilience, a thin but unbreakable thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrgent and unforgettable, PRIVATE HELL gives voice to those prisons were built to silence. It is witness. It is warning. And it is a demand: that punishment must never cost a person their mind-or their soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamie Howe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798264513480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Jamie Howe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425717305599,"sku":"9798264513480","price":27.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cb3f4bb-ab41-4907-963f-a1bb492f27d4.jpg?v=1761541142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/private-hell-jamie-howe-9798264513480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
