Prison Letters

Prison Letters: With God's Love, I Can Scale These Walls is not only a story of redemption but also much more: It's a testament to human resilience in the underbelly of the prison system. Since Palm Sunday 2004, American expat Bruce Aitken has hosted a highly popular radio program called The Hour of Love. Broadcast every week from Hong Kong, the program reaches out to foreign prisoners in the city's correctional institutions as well as the city's hundreds of thousands of foreign domestic helpers and anyone in need of a spiritual uplift around the world. "You have given us the light, the strength, and courage to keep holding on to hope," writes Sonny, a man from India who was incarcerated in Hong Kong's Stanley Prison. This is just one of thousands of letters sent to Aitken by inmates over many years and read out on air. The original handwritten letters published in this book will both trouble you and warm your heart. They are an affirmation of the spirit of humanity that thrives among prisoners--allowing them to support one another, often for years on end, as they wrestle with the sense of helplessness that follows the loss of freedom. www.realbruceaitken.com
