Incite - 572

This true story reveals the horrific details of life behind bars. A journal recorded during nearly nine months of incarceration explores the abject cruelty and punishment suffered by a falsely accused man. Interwoven are accounts of episodes that lead to the erroneous apprehension of two Rhode Island natives - a same sex couple - who took in two young siblings on the brink of separation. The teenage biological brother and sister, adopted on the infamous date of Sept. 11, 2001, accuse the couple of sexual abuse six years later. The innocent men are arrested, indicted on charges of child molestation, and held without bail at an adult correctional institution. They are victimized and endure unspeakable abuse, primarily resulting from coercion by prison staff and state marshals. Release from prison comes nine months later, following a mistrial held in Rhode Island Superior Court, and a plea bargain to avoid further incarceration. Most significant in the book Incite is its commentary concerning crime and punishment, the criminal "injustice" system, humanitarianism, and personal growth. This chronicle of transcendence reveals insight on courage in the face of uncertainty, as well as highlighting the concepts of judgment and forgiveness, diversity, acceptance, and personal choice.
