Letters to an Incarcerated Brother: Encouragement, Hope, and Healing for Inmates and Their Loved Ones

I ordered this for a loved one incarcerated. Him and another inmate in there are switching it off, they say it’s a really good book. The guy he’s sharing it with has life sentence. It’s giving positive energy to him when he needs it. I suggest this book !!

This book is a very good book and easy to read. I brought this book for a friend that has been incarcerated for nearly 15 years. And he said he literally cried reading this. Because he was holding on to so much pain and holding a grudge on his circumstance instead of trying to figure out why he was put in the situation he was in and how he could grow and learn from his situation. I can tell that after reading this book. Let him look at life in a different light. He is now finding his purpose and helping others find there's as well. Every Black man who is locked up should read. And to never give up. There is light on the other side of the tunnel.

My 15-year-old son enjoyed it. We love Hill Harper's work. Purchase for the young man finding his way in your life. It will NOT disappointed.

In Letters to an Incarcerated Brother, Hill Harper mentors a young imprisoned father who's life has been derailed due to his unfortunate incarceration. Throughout their first few letters, Hill writes from a place of guilt, sympathy and as well as awkwardness, as he feels awful for not being able to relate to the living conditions of this prison inmate. However, over time, the two develop an outstanding relationship as Hill becomes a viable mentor to this young incarcerated brother, helping him improve his attitude, life choices and education level throughout the process. The book is one of many in Hill Harper's "Letters" series, furthermore, this series of letters may just happen to be the most important one yet as Hill extends a helping hand to a young man that is in dire need of assistance to get his life back on track, but is in jeopardy of being swallowed whole by the prison industrial complex system.

Everyone with loved one incarcerated should read this book. Have your loved one read this book. It is a great book with useful information.

Sent this to my brother whose incarcerated for making a bad choice in life. I’ve started him reading books that will help to change his thoughts about life and the importance of making better choices as well as how to be a man of integrity. He told me he loves the book and has shared it with other inmates who also love the book.

I purchased this for a dear friend who is serving 24 year sentence. He wrote me as he began, was reading, and again when he finished the work. He loved it, and even began to write out some of the strategic work to think about his future. Big impact. Filled with multiple approaches, Harper shares stories, anecdotes, strategies all to support men of color who are incarcerated.

Wether or NOT if You have ever been in prison! Especially do the exercises in the back of each chapter! It promotes GROWTH in a POSITIVE way! It’s GREAT for at risk youth and adults alike ! Gain Your own self worth & character !

A great inspirational book for those incarcerated or not. Would be a great stocking stuffer for the person in your life that needs a little pick me up

Bought it for someone that is incarcerated for him to read during lock down. Skimmed through and looks like a good read, should take them some time. Great to get a good positive book for Black men to get stuck into. Will let you know more once he has read it!!

I thought this was a brilliant read. I am a woman and I have never been incarcerated but I found mr harper's book easy to read and insightful. I would recommend to anyone interested in the issues raised or just interested in effective communication.

this book was a great read and it helped looked at empowering young men in the incarcerated sysetem to see a light out of the dark tunnel good read for families and young people

Ordered for a family member who is pleased with his purchase.
