Bearing the Cross - Book Five concludes Dr. John M. Cobin's harrowing memoir of imprisonment in Chile's Casablanca penitentiary. As a gringo political prisoner caught in a legal system stacked against him, Cobin exposes the injustices, indignities, and vexations of the Chilean criminal justice and prison system from the inside: corrupt proceedings, degrading conditions, and the daily struggle to preserve his faith, his family, and his sanity. Continuing directly from Book Four, this final volume follows Cobin through the back half of his Casablanca sentence to his eventual release, chronicling the toll of prolonged incarceration on an innocent man and the deeper spiritual convictions it forged. Drawing on economics, law, and Christian theology, Cobin turns a personal ordeal into a broader indictment of how modern states abuse judicial power against the powerless. A stark, unflinching conclusion to the Bearing the Cross series.
