People often think this sentence is about despair.
It is actually about endurance.
For centuries, writers have imagined hell as separation—from hope, from community, from purpose. Yet even in places marked by confinement, people laugh, study, pray, dream, and continue searching for meaning.
Perhaps the greater story is not that prison resembles hell.
Perhaps it is that humanity survives there anyway. And the majority of people in prison are “prisoners of hope!”

I love this! Im not halfway through book ( although I am in part 2). I LOVE it, and am learning so much. As you know I barely have had time to get to everything but Im going to take 3 days off and look forward to curling up with this book and then writing a review. We should suggest to our mentors to buy it.
