Seven Doors in: One Teacher's Mission Within Prison Walls

With a passion for education and years of experience teaching students of all ages, Beth Rondeau built a prestigious career in teaching. Even she, however, could hardly have imagined the challenges she'd face as a teacher in an unconventional classroom: maximum-security prison.

Seven Doors In details Beth's journey over three years of teaching men considered to be among the most dangerous offenders in the prison system. Explore what life is like in prison, and meet the memorable students who awaited her instruction every day behind a total of seven locked doors. Share in their struggles and their accomplishments--in academics as well as in life--and witness how she helped them improve not only their test scores but also their self-worth, compassion, behavior, and belief in their own ability to change for the better. Beth has seen with her own eyes how education can transform the lives of offenders, and her view of the United States justice system has been transformed forever in turn. Now let her open your eyes to the lessons she learned seven doors in.
