Walls, Wire, Bars and Souls

I was reminded of this book today and I suddenly thought, "Hey, a prison chaplain's memoir is the sort of thing a bunch of people at Lem's would probably like." So...
I haven't read it, but I've heard that it's very good.

It's high time they make Falconer into a movie.

Thanks. I had a friend who was a prison Chaplain @ Leavenworth and the local County Jail in KC. Father Costello was a Jesuit who taught @ a Catholic College[Rockhurst]. The man was a saint. He was going to marry us in 1977 when my bride and I tied the knot. My bride also knew the Father. Well, we were getting married in a park, not a Catholic Church, so the bishop nixed it. He was so pissed. Like I said, he was a saint working w/ prisoners but also putting up w/ Catholic politics and horseshit. I'll go over TOP and buy it. Just bustin' balls. This is the type of sales pitch a person w/ a soul and common sense knows intuitively.
