The Many Faces of Incarceration: From Punishment to Restoration offers a deeply personal and theological exploration of the modern prison system. Drawing on nearly 25 years of experience in prison ministry, Geoffrey Schmitt examines incarceration through multiple lenses: punishment, deterrence, incapacitation, reform, restorative justice, social control, and spiritual transformation.
Each chapter combines scriptural reflection, real-life stories, poetry, and thoughtful questions for reflection, inviting readers to see the incarcerated not as statistics but as human beings made in the image of God.
The book challenges readers to rethink justice itself: What does a truly Christian vision of justice look like? How can the church and society move beyond fear and retribution to embrace hope, restoration, and dignity for all?
