A Priest Behind Bars is an intriguing autobiographical novel by Fr. Marcelo Blázquez Rodrigo, a Spanish Roman Catholic priest who spent over a quarter of a century in the United States as a prison chaplain and counselor on "the inside". He worked in some of the harshest maximum-security New York State correctional facilities, including Coxsackie and Comstock. Blázquez brings the fascinating stories of New York inmates into the light. Each chapter tells the story of a different prisoner, from a Vietnam vet drug addict with AIDS to a convicted rapist who nearly dies as a result of a self-imposed hunger strike in defense of his religious convictions. This book openly criticizes the New York penal system and offers exclusive insight into its inner workings from the perspective of a first hand witness of the atrocities of prison life.
