給年輕自己的信

「我在極度痛苦之中，給年輕的你寫下了這封信………」

「今後做甚麼都好，都要好好地先想想家人才做，不要連累他們………」

「做了數不盡的錯事後，今天終於領悟到，其實那時可以有更聰明的選擇………」

美國攝影師 Trent Bell，在 2013 年得知好朋友入獄的消息後，感到非常震驚，接受不到，因為他的好朋友，本來是個專業人士，平日是個好好先生，又是一位好丈夫和好爸爸，有四個孩子，有美滿的家庭，又有穩定的工作，生活無憂，萬萬想不到因一時貪念，就鑄成大錯，被重判入獄 36 年！

好朋友的入獄，讓他悲傷惋惜之餘，也想到世界上有很多囚犯，像他的好友一樣，也有外人不知道的苦衷，他們不一定都是大奸大惡的人，背後都有自己的故事，他們只是一時做錯決定，墮進罪惡的深淵，恨錯難返。

每一封的懺悔信，都有血有淚，失去了自由的囚犯，每一句內心的獨白，都鏗鏘有力，他們每個都寫了一封給年輕的自己的信，細訴自己的過去，為甚麼在人生的旅途中，會誤入歧途，告誡後輩，切莫重蹈覆轍，否則追悔莫及。
