In Prison But Not Imprisoned: True Stories and Lessons of Successful Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners

Our society believes that anyone sent to the prison has lost value. They feel the prison is an insane world that produces miscreants. Even prisoners and some ex-convicts have been brainwashed to believe this fallacy. Hence, their belief has affected their thinking pattern, thus making them behave the way the society see them. Now we have ex-convicts behaving like lunatics because they have been brainwashed that it is the best life for them. Another perception of the prison term is that it is a period of time wasting. It is just a period to wait idly for one's release.This book intends to dispute and change these negative perceptions. It seeks to convince the society, prisoners and ex-prisoners that there is no difference between them and the other "free" individuals. This book unveils certain hidden truths that show that the prison can be your place of rebirth for uncommon exploits. It can be a time of planning and training. It can be your success classroom to imbibe and access the keys for a successful life. This book introduces you to great prisoners and ex-convicts that shook the world from its roots positively. It contains the story of: -Nelson Mandela, who became a criminal because he stood against discrimination and oppression. Even before he left prison, he was already the uncrowned president of South Africa because he learnt the lesson of forgiveness.-Olusegun Obasanjo was the most joyful prisoner in Kirikiri prisons even when he was wrongfully incarcerated because he understood that joy has the potency to sustain him and recover all he had lost. -Charles W. Colson an ex-convict was presented with the Presidential Citizens Medal (the second-highest U.S. civilian honour) by President George W.
