Our lives can go in any directions depending on the decisions we make. We are more likely to choose a productive life or a destructive life for ourselves based on the situations we’re born into. It’s no secret that some people are dealt a more difficult hand of cards than others. A person born to a single mother with a drug addiction is far more likely to choose a life like hers than someone who is born to two middle class parents.

We still have the opportunity to make our own choices about what we do with the lives we’ve been given, but sometimes people aren’t aware of that. That’s why Car Angel has been leading the charge to distribute books on reform to the U.S. prison systems. These books get into the reality of destructive patterns and tell readers that change IS possible and how to go about doing it.

What began as a small hopeful project has succeeded in changing hundreds of lives. A new book is released every year into the prisons and letters of gratitude pour in telling stories of reform and asking for materials. People who thought they had no hope now have a future and a whole new lease on life.

Our books save taxpayers an estimated $160,000,000 a year from criminals who change their lives and inspire changes in other as well.

Below is part of Death Sentence, just one of the many books we have released into the prison systems. It’s books just like this one that are making changes in prisons and hearts everywhere. 200,000 new books were released in May, 2005, and the changes continue to be recognized. Take some time to read this passage and see why our books have been so greatly received by the prison population.
