Hill Harper Video Interview On ‘Incarcerated Brother’

Hill Harper, the former star of CSI: NY and current star of Covert Affairs, is also an accomplished author with a new book out, Letters To An Incarcerated Brother: Encouragement, Hope And Healing For Inmates And Their Loved Ones. Harper wanted to write a guide for people in prisons of any kind. “The book isn’t just for folks who are actually in physical prisons. Many of us are in prisons that are not made of iron bars, that I hope the book will help set free,” Harper told Uinterview exclusively. “It is written for anyone who feels stuck in any way. Sometimes we feel stuck in a job, in a career, by our parents or a relationship, or our kids, or by debt, credit card debt or mortgage debt.”

Harper wrote Incarcerated Brother following the success of his previous motivational books, including the bestsellers Letters To A Young Brother and Letters To A Young Sister. He stumbled into his role as an advocate almost by accident. “A lot of the wardens and the judges would send me the book reports and eventually started sending me letters,” Harper said. “These letters moved me to a degree to find out what’s going on with our incarceration system and how can we put forth some solutions and inspiration.”
