Download or read book Redeeming a Prison Society written by Amy Levad and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States criminal justice system is in a state of crisis, from unprecedented rates of imprisonment and recidivism to the privatization of the prison system and the disproportionate representation of particular racial, ethnic, social, and economic groups, all of which is within a larger social justice context. Catholics and Protestants have largely failed to offer vital theological responses. Amy Levad offers a Catholic perspective that directly addresses the concrete issues from a strongly interdisciplinary approach and utilizes the rich liturgical and sacramental resources of penance and Eucharist to offer a theological vision of reform.
