A Genuinely Good Guy & A Genuinely Fun Read
Format: Hardcover
A prison diary with optimism, realism and humor. You can read this book in its daily snippets, but you won't want to put it down as the daily drama unfolds. Each story leads up to the next in a riveting account of gritty survival.
Peter is a man I genuinely would like to meet some day. Every once in awhile we get blessed with a public servant who has a heart of gold. Someone who doesn't just look after their own selfish interests, but cares about the affairs of others. Peter proves to be that man.
Injected into a jail system with malice as a political prisoner, we find Peter busy helping others. When life gave him lemons, Peter chose to make lemonade for others. He discovered everything that seemed hopelessly mucked up in the prison system. So Peter, the ever-observant statistician, dug deep into the root causes of the massive dysfunction. He then began detangling each individual man's predicament with precision. And love. He genuinely cared about the prisoners and their families, their lives and their future. And when he left, he continued to work to change things for the better. That is honorable and commendable.
