After losing his re-election bid, former Lousiana District Attorney Richard Johnson was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison. While incarcerated, he compiled a diary of daily meditations that he now hopes will serve to glorify God and benefit those who find themselves in a similar situation. Detailing people he met, situations he experienced, and lessons he learned, Letters From Federal Prison: A District Attorney's Quest for Redemption is a humbling but uplifting look at how even the worst of circumstances can help a person find the good in life.
