It's Finally Here!!

Check out this important new book by Eugene Nelson! Here is my review of the book. “Saved by the Blood makes a crucial contribution to challenging the dehumanizing narratives that are frequently utilized to label formerly incarcerated people. Eugene Nelson masterfully weaves together an account of his inspiring life story. Eugene documents the harsh, unjust, and discriminatory treatment that he experienced during decades of involvement with the carceral system. He then lifts up how he used that experience to become a powerful leader in the fight to overhaul this system and help other people who have had similar experiences. Those of us who have been incarcerated in Wisconsin’s prison system know very well that Wisconsin detains some of the best and brightest people in this state. Eugene’s story is one important example of the tremendous amount of potential that exists in people who have been trapped behind the walls of prisons. His story is a powerful example of what can be achieved when we invest in people instead of punishment. Saved by the Blood is a book that anyone interested in advancing justice and building stronger communities should read.” -Mark Rice is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Transformational Justice Campaign Coordinator at WISDOM.
