Jens Soering
One Day in the Life of 179212
To a correctional facility in Virginia he is known as Prisoner 179212. But to a legion of journalists and legal reform activists he is Jens Soering, a German citizen who has endured for the past twenty-five years the harshest and most unforgiving punishment this country can offer—a life sentence without realistic hope of release, which some refer to as "the other death penalty." Although this inspiring memoir recounts just a day in the life of one man, it provides a powerful voice for the over two million men and women lost in the maze of America's prison-industrial complex.
Chapter One: 4:20 a.m.

The Church of the Second Chance

In fact, the stories of these biblical outlaws contain the clues to solving a social crisis that has been building for over thirty years: the problem of America’s prisons.

Meg Funk and Yifa are both Lantern authors, and are both interested in integrating their religious knowledge with the larger world openly and in order to bring peace. Meg Funk, pictured above, is the author of the newly updated Islam Is..., a result of her interfaith dialogues.
