The Best Part of Prison

At 18, Jesse Crosson was considered a lost cause. Strung out on drugs, he committed a robbery and later a nonfatal shooting. For those choices, he was sentenced to 32 years. However, for Jesse, prison was not the end. It became the beginning of a long path toward redemption. Electric and deeply felt—from the slam of a cell door to the awe of seeing the night sky after 19 years—The Best Part of Prison reminds us that second chances are always possible, and that none of us are defined solely by our worst moments.
