My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption by Ian Manuel
4.0
Ian Manuel's memoir was a quick, but not easy read. His story of incarceration includes abuse and straight up torture; much of it endured as a child.
He reveals the corruption of the department of corrections and the dysfunctional legal system we have in our nation. While me and my homies already hate the prison system, this furthered my frustrations and disappointment.
The most special parts of this memoir are Manuel's poetry and the incredible work that Equal Justice Initiative does. I also wanna give a huge shout out to Maria, his social worker, who is inspiring to me (also a social worker).
I recommend this book to all who are interested in social issues, memoirs, and some inspiring poetry.
