“Pete Einstein brings to the reader a book that is not only well-written, but one that gives a realistic glimpse into a world that many people would like to forget exists. Throughout the chapters of The Inmate Within, Pete intimately describes the underbelly of prison life, and the many challenges facing incarcerated men and women. But he also gives heartwarming accounts of hope and ‘spiritual successes’ which occur in prison chapels across the United States. At a time when prisons are a ‘hot topic’ of sometimes controversial conversation, Pete’s intelligent writing brings a voice of sanity to the platform.”
