Enlightenment Behind Bars is a compilation of spiritual lessons. What is unique about this literary collection is that it was written by nine men and one woman while incarcerated in prison. With an accumulated total of nearly 200 years behind bars, their fortitude and ability to obtain spiritual growth while in the "Belly of the Beast" speaks volumes in and of itself.

Meet each as they share their journey of awakening. Each writer includes several lessons on spirituality to inspire you to awaken more fully. They also include spiritual practices such as meditation and unique artforms that have helped move them further on their awakening path. Browse their recommended reading list for suggestions to expand your awareness as a spiritual Seeker.

From their varied backgrounds, you will be introduced to nuggets of information gained from many religious outlets including but not limited to Christianity, Buddhism, Wiccan, Neterianism, Islam, Gnosticism and Native Americanism.

As a bonus, Theresa Crabtree, the compiler, has included several daily spiritual practices that have helped her clients to empower themselves. Also included is an extensive list of spiritual and literary resources available to incarcerated persons.

Enlightenment Behind Bars will help to free your mind, whether you currently find yourself imprisoned in the Department of Corrections or the prison created within your own mind.
