In the early morning hours of December 31, 2010, Dr. Cornelius H. Evans and his wife received a terrible phone call: their son, Bryant, had been shot and killed. The agonizing days that followed brought Evans face-to-face with the realization that evil had touched his familys life, sending him on a quest to try to understand the role evil plays in our world. Deeply emotional and heartfelt, Surviving Evil in a Depraved Society offers insight into how Evans dealt with the loss of his son by analyzing the root of violence in Americaevil. He examines various theories on evil and its origin, its effects on mankind, and how, according to the Christian belief, evil will remain a part of our society until Christ returns. Evans also challenges ideologies, philosophical beliefs, and theologies on whether one can avoid evil elements. He demonstrates that we can be on our guard against inviting evil into our lives by spiritually guarding ourselves and raising our children with a strong moral foundation. An eye-opening look at the face of evil, Surviving Evil in a Depraved Society offers hope for living in todays world.

The authors, two sociologists who taught at Durham Prison, describe the subjective experience of a group of long-term offenders in a maximum security environment, and their adaptation to prison routines and demands. They describe inmate life with examples such as : always under the eye of a TV camera, sleeping with a light on all night, and spending ten years sewing mail bags. Also discussed are its effects, including inmate fears of psychological deterioration and reactions to disrupted emotional relationships. The new introduction, written for this edition, discusses the development of British penal policy over the intervening ten years, and documents the increased growth of the long-term penal population. Chapter 9, also written for the second edition, discusses the fate of the authors' research plans and the nature of other research on long-term imprisonment. A new Postscript by one of the prisoners described in the study comments on how the research looked to its 'objects'.
