Description - And I Loved Them...: Voices of a Prison Ministry by Josephine Migliore

That's the credo Sister Josephine Migliore embodied on her weekly visits to Chicago's Cook County Correctional Centre. For more than 14 years, this 84-year-old Catholic nun spent each Thursday offering friendship, counselling and spiritual guidance to a revolving door of inmates awaiting trial or sentencing at the notorious jail. Moonlighting from her full-time post in Columbus Hospital, she made a mission of her charitable work. In this powerful account, Sister Josephine reflects on more than a decade of memories and shares many of the thousands of letters and writings she has received from inmates over the years. It is through there words that sister offers insight into the symptoms of destructive behaviour, the elements of rehabilitation and the hope of spiritual realisation.
