ARM THE SPIRIT!
Arm The Spirit – A Woman’s Journey Underground and Back by Diana Block.
This book is dedicated to all those — known and unknown, inside prisons around the globe — who each day arm their spirits, fighting to hold on to the understanding that a wall is just a wall/and nothing more at all. Despite prisons, gulags, and detention camps, the struggle for a different world continues.

And nothing more at all.
