Freedom at all costs!
It has been said that that a justice system is the measurement of the humanity of a culture. I believe this is true. Papillon is an amazing memoir that chronicles the wasteland of the justice systems worldwide in the late 18th and early 20th centuries and one man's extraordinary journey through a living death, redemption, and finally freedom. Having worked in the criminal justice system for since 1980, as a probation officer until 2016, and a mitigation specialist in federal death penalty cases since 2017, I have met many men both before and after serving decades in prison. Many have been in solitary confinement; some I know are serving life sentences. These experiences leave a lasting impact on their psyches and souls, especially solitary. Henri's story is extraordinary, not only in its description of the torturous, barbaric treatment he experienced and observed, but more importantly his will to survive, obtain his freedom and become a better man. It is truly inspirational to read about his mental toughness, determination, and drive to find God and the true man of love and compassion within himself.
