Unheard Voices Zusammenfassung

Unheard Voices: Reflections of a Prison Chaplain Imelda Wickham (PBVM)

This book is an attempt by the author to give us a brief human insight into life behind bars in one of our penal institutions. It is written from the perspective of someone who has walked the walk with the prisoner for twenty years and now questions the effectiveness of our criminal justice system. She is an advocate for a Restorative Justice System and sees this model as the way forward. She argues that true justice lies in healing for all involved in criminal behaviour, including victim, perpetrator and society.

The second part of the book hears the voices of the prisoners in emotionally charged reflections on the reality of life within a prison cell.

The author challenges the use of prisons to deal with addictions, mental health issues and homelessness.Where prisons are needed, as they are for a small cohort of people, they should be open institutions dedicated to rehabilitation based on the needs of the individual and on societal needs of the time.

Unheard Voices Bewertungen

short, accessible reflections, artfully written, which cut straight to the reality of what imprisonment does to people...accessible, funny, and pastoral, the book represents a clear call for the beginning of something like a prison abolitionist movement in Ireland.'

-- Kevin Hargaden * Working Notes *

'written with warmth and understanding, challenge and encouragement, passion and compassion.'
