by Jill Ann Billingsley

About the book:

Don't Fall Into the Spider Web of Prison: 7 Strategies for Youth: A Compass for Wise Choices and Crime Prevention is a heartfelt and powerful book by Jill Ann Billingsley aimed to educate teens and young adults on avoiding peer pressure, making wise decisions, becoming leaders, practicing self-discipline, and embracing crime prevention strategies.

Inspired by the tragic loss of her mother who passed away in prison under inhumane conditions, author Jill Ann Billingsley seeks to raise awareness and promote prevention strategies to keep people from getting entangled in a broken prison system that she compares to a spider’s web. A web of entanglement that not only takes away freedom, but also strips them of their joy, dignity, ambitions, and, in some cases, their lives.
