Jailhouse Journals

By Mike Mahy

Incarceration. Pain. Change. Miracles. Spending time in jail isn’t easy for anyone who has been forced to have that experience. Spending time in jail for what you deserve is God’s and humankind’s justice. Spending time in jail out of God’s mercy is something completely different.

This is what I want to share about in Jailhouse Journals. It was because of God’s justice that I got the sentence I deserved for the crimes I committed, but in his mercy, the experience in jail was more than what I had ever expected. To get the help I needed while in jail gave me hope not only for me but also for those who may be reading this to get help from the trap of sexual addiction.

The purpose of these journals is to inspire them that God is not only real, but he is also a loving God and will help them change if they are willing to do so, and that there is actually a system of incarceration, called right living community, as a rehabilitation approach to serving a sentence rather than just doing hard time.

I am hoping that maybe, just maybe, that anyone reading this can be averted from committing a senseless sexual crime against another because they now have hope and can work up the courage to get the help they need. Finally, this book is also for any victim of sexual offences committed against them so that they can receive inner healing and possibly even work up the ability to forgive their perpetrator for their horrendous acts. I have discovered that forgiveness sets the one doing the forgiving free emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, more so than the one being forgiven.

These journals also show that there is a road map to getting specific help; the fact that proper counseling; good cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) courses; support groups such as AA, NA, SAA, and Celebrate Recovery, and even taking an amazing course developed by my chaplain that is called Spiritual Perspective on Sexuality as a means to receiving better emotional wholeness and well-being, making better decisions and developing better thinking patterns.

Be set free. Receive healing. Experience transformation. Watch miracles flow!
