A darkly comic tale of faith, fraud, and forgiveness behind bars.

Welcome to Otisville, America's only Jewish prison, where fraudsters, forgers, and tax evaders find community and solace. Led by a rabbi serving time, the inmates of the 'minyan' grapple with right and wrong amidst the challenges of prison life. But when a celebrity inmate arrives, shaking up the status quo, and a poetry professor finds herself in danger, the minyan must decide whether to uphold their values or succumb to the corrupting forces around them.

Perfect for readers of contemporary fiction, Jewish literature, and stories that blend humor with profound insights, The Prison Minyan offers a wise and deeply human perspective on crime, faith, and the enduring power of community.
