This volume of the JPP looks at the aging process inside prisons, whereevery problem is amplifi ed by the prisoner's age. From the changingnature of dreams, valiant attempts to forestall mental decline, and thwartedattempts to access education, to the pain of watching children grow upwithout them, and the impossibility of adequate care in their decliningyears, prisoners share the desperation of growing old behind bars.Even in the stultifying environment of prison, however, personalgrowth can and does fl ourish and prisoners can contribute in many ways.Is the person who committed a crime in 1965 or 1985 still the same personin 2005? The resilience of the human spirit and the power of time, evenin the absence of any other encouragement towards rehabilitation, haveproven themselves over and over again. But even "model prisoners" arepermanently held suspect. What kind of justice system have we constructedwhen even professed Christians no longer believe in redemption andforgiveness? "Godot never arrived, and Vladimir and Estragon only grewolder while they waited."
