Concord Prison Outreach is proud to announce the release of Black Son-Shine, a powerful new poetry book by our Executive Director, Sam Williams.

More than a collection of poems, Black Son-Shine challenges readers to think deeply about the forces that shape human behavior and the possibility of change. At its core, the book is a testament to resilience, personal responsibility, and the belief that no one is beyond hope.

For more than two decades, Sam has dedicated his life to supporting individuals impacted by incarceration. As Executive Director of Concord Prison Outreach, he has helped build programs that strengthen families, promote restorative justice, and create pathways for healing and successful reentry. His leadership and lived experience have inspired thousands of people both inside and outside correctional facilities.

Proceeds from every copy sold directly support Concord Prison Outreach and our mission to provide educational, restorative, and community-based programming for incarcerated individuals, returning citizens, and their families.
