Description

Life is a series of choices. And sometimes, those choiceslead to consequences of life-changing proportions. For Jeffrey Abramowitz,choices and consequences led to a five-year sentence in a cinder-block buildingcalled Justice. Tracing his journey that took an unexpected detour, Abramowitzgives readers an unfiltered glimpse into the realities of life in a US federalprison-the struggle to adapt, survive, and most importantly, find purposedespite deep regret and pain. This search for purpose led him to theintersection of justice, education, and workforce development and forced him toevaluate just how effective (or ineffective) the systems for reentry are. Shedding the visible shackles worn inside prison, Abramowitz faced theinvisible but tangible shackles of reintegrating into society as a convictedfelon-a challenge that fuels the ever-revolving doors of US prisons. A Matterof Time is a call for educators, criminal justice administrators, returningcitizens, legislators, and employers to recognize the innate humansusceptibility to make poor choices-and the immense capacity to learn fromthose mistakes. Having dedicated his life to empowering those within thejustice system, Abramowitz shares his path from pain and remorse to creating alife of meaning and happiness.
