What if recidivism isn't about behavior at all-but about poverty?
In What I Think, the author delivers a raw, unfiltered look at the real reason people return to jail and prison. While institutions focus on anger management, drug treatment, and cognitive therapy, one truth remains ignored:
When someone is released into poverty, survival overrides everything they learned inside.
This book argues that the criminal justice system is missing the most important piece of rehabilitation: financial literacy and real-world economic skills. Without the ability to earn money legally, many people fall back into the same patterns-not because they want to, but because they feel they have no choice.
Through lived experience, sharp insight, and a bold vision for reform, What I Think challenges the system to evolve. It offers a new blueprint for reducing recidivism by teaching incarcerated individuals how to build financial stability, confidence, and opportunity.
If you care about justice, rehabilitation, or breaking generational cycles, this book will change the way you see incarceration forever.
