BOOK REVIEWS

---

  Contract Parole is a powerful work that proposes an extraordinary system for prison and inmate reformꟷand describes how and why it will succeed. Contract Parole offers a major way to encourage redemption in flawed and damaged humans: a way of making them whole, healing them, and helping to heal our society. If implemented, Contract Parole will have a powerful, positive impact on all of us.

ꟷDavid Scott Milton

  The idea of a reward system, 

with lines drawn by clearly defined goals followed by a resulting guarantee, might just be what we need. The time is right, and this is a well thought out presentation. 

The author’s experience should be taken into consideration. He has obviously had plenty of time to 

think this through. 

Contract Parole is a great idea!

ꟷMichael Wolff

 THOSE CLOSEST TO THE PROBLEM KNOW THE SOLUTION: 

This is the kind of thoughtful approach to the problem of recidivism that comes from experiential knowledge. The author has lived the life he talks about and walked the walk of redemption. I highly recommend Contract Parole to policy makers and officials both. It is time to fix our broken prison system.

ꟷKenneth E. Hartman 

 Please read and share Contract Parole. This book was written by a man with years of experience in the system. He has spent many years learning and working on this. Contract Parole, if executed the way John lays it out in this book, will not only make our prisons safer but will also make our streets safer.

  I was very curious about the concept of Contract Parole, so I ended up reading it in one evening. Contract Parole a brilliant idea. It is well written, and I enjoyed learning about it.

Inspiring! Realistic! Honest! 

Wow! 

Contract Parole outlines what could, and should, be a blueprint of our future incarceration system. It gives specific guidelines with incredible insight from someone who knows firsthand why 

our current criminal justice system is not working.
