In Ministry to the Incarcerated, Dr. Henry G. Covert uses his experience as both police officer and state prison chaplain to examine the emotional world of the incarcerated - people who are often misunderstood and forgotten. He addresses specific areas of inmate stress, such as low self-esteem, guilt, and unrealistic expectations, and explains how these can be major obstacles to a prisoner's personal and spiritual development.
