Living, Caring,Learning and Sharing W/Don Durant

Rikers Island, a jail in New York is in the News and is in the news for violence inmate to inmate, Inmate to officers and officer to inmate.  They are also being viewed negatively based on holding prisoners in confinement based on the inability to come up with bail money.  This is causing many to lose apartments, and jobs, and  to be held in some cases for months while awaiting trial. I wrote a book on the life of a former Warden at Rikers Island, Prof. Ali al-Rahman. The book was well received by many and won awards for its uniqueness.  Titled, WE LEARN BY TRIAL, A Memoir by Professor Ali al-Rahman.
