A Red Rose for Andrea (Writings from Prison) are reflections of prison life showing how the state treats political prisoners. It shows the absurdities and unjustness of the Philippine justice system and the prison institution as a punitive, coercive instrument of the state rather than a reformatory for restorative justice. It is an inspiring handbook for political prisoners, human rights defenders, justice and peace advocates, prison ministry workers and all those who give their lives to serve the people.
