  …using books as tool to inspire rehabilitation and hope in incarcerated youth

  “A client who was sentenced to life when he was 14. And I've now represented him for 30 years. And a couple of years ago, he called me late at night. And I was a little kind of provoked because he's not supposed to call that late. But I picked up and I said, why are you calling so late? He says, it's an emergency. I said, what's the emergency? He said, I finished the book that you sent me and you have to come and see me. I said, I don't even remember what book I sent you. And then he told me that he had just finished reading The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky. My favorite book in college, it was a book that just changed my thinking.”
