Join the author as he takes you on an extraordinary journey into his intense world, teaching convicted felons inside two all-male state prisons in northern Ohio. The story Different Prisons is a collection of short stories, poetry, and anecdotes taken directly from the personal journals and unique experiences of Dr. Thomas Davison. This is real-life stuff, not the ‘Hollywood version.’ It will make you laugh, and it will make you cry … What do the readers have to say about Different Prisons? A Journey You Never Expected to Take, But Will Cherish I have loved this story so much. It will make you laugh cheer and cry. And what is so special is that you will meet and fall in love with the author along the way. I confess I have never spent much time thinking about the lives of prisoners, or caring either, but this story opens up that world and despite yourself you will care in a way you never have before. It’s rare, I think, that a book or story teaches you so much, including about yourself. Highly recommended. A must read. I Truly Love This Story I like watching movies about what life is like inside of prisons. But, I realize Hollywood tends to exaggerate things to make a film more exciting. So, I decided to try this non-fiction Vella written by a guy who teaches felons inside prisons. I love this story! It is so real. He gives the reader insight into the day-to-day life of a prisoner. I give this story my highest rating and recommend you try it, you will be hooked! Fresh and New This is the most honest look at life on the inside of a prison I have seen. The accounts are real, and so raw. They are honest and allow you to feel everything the author and his students feel. A story filled with insights into somewhere most of us will never go. Well worth your time and a gripping read. A Story That Enlightens You I’ve become enlightened by the stories of those who are/were incarcerated for whatever reason. I’m inspired by those who chose to better themselves while serving the sentence they been given. Yes, I believe most everything is a choice. A choice to do what is right, a choice to take the higher path, a choice to believe the best of others. Doctor D’s experiences show what society may say is irredeemable truly is if one only provides guidance to the light. A Powerful and Deeply Moving Story It’s wonderful how you created Writing and Reading Clubs inside the Prisons where you worked.Bravo! Doctor D. You offer so much interesting insight into prison life. I respect what you do so much. What a great story and Journey this is.I agree that respect is the core of so many things in life. I can only imagine how important respect must be for the convicted felons. I love your addition of prison-themed poems. They are so raw and moving. I know exactly what you mean when you talk about different kinds of prisons. I have imprisoned myself with negativity. Your ability to struggle through to reach these men is inspiring to read. How lucky those guys in prison are to have someone like you to teach and guide them. If one man finds a new life after prison because of what he learned from you, then that one man is reward enough for anyone. Your heart for education and service is crystal clear and what you have to share is so appreciated.I have learned so much about the life of inmates. Thank you for sharing this amazing story!
