About the book
Take a fascinating look inside the old Ohio Penitentiary as you follow a group of inmates who meet weekly under the tutelage of a lifer named Zeno in a group called the Epictetus Club. The inmates study the teachings of this Greek philosopher, and with the help of his ancient wisdom they meet the daily challenges of their lives. Learning to think outside the limits of their own literal walls as they struggle to redeem themselves, the club members show us how to think beyond the limits of our own self-imposed limitations and comfort zones. Jeff Traylor, M.A., L.P.C., is a professional counselor who has worked at the Ohio Penitentiary and Marion Correctional Institution, and teaches a cognitive skills course at a community-based correctional facility. He created a nationally recognized diversion program and has trained hundreds of counselors, social workers and probation officers. An avid bicyclist and explorer, he is also the author of several popular travel books, including Life in the Slow Lane: Fifty Backroad Tours of Ohio.
