Version espanola de Carlos B. Vega - con la colaboracion deDagmar Vega

"El autor de la presente obra, Michael B. Jackson, se ha esforzado en proporcionarle al expresidiario informacion util y concisa de lo que le correspondera hacer al quedar en libertad,empleando en ello un lenguaje acorde al tema y al alcance de todo lector.

El Sr. Jackson hace gala de su profundo humanismo y nobleza de espiritu y basa su obra en la experiencia adquirida como expresidiario que el fuera tambien. El, mejor que nadie, sabe ycomprende el sistema penal estadounidense, conocimientos que tiene a bien compartir ahora con los que contemplan su sonada libertad. Ahora, con esta version espanola, util y dolorosa a la vez por hacerse necesaria, el expresidiario hispano tendra ocasion de conocer mas a ondo y asi cumplir mas cabalmente con sus obligaciones con lo que lograra una vida mas sosegada y feliz.

Agradezco al Sr. Jackson la oportunidad que me ha brindado de traducir su obra al espanol, asi como la confianza depositada para hacerla digna del original. Espero que tanto el como el lector queden satisfechos con la labor realizada que he hecho con el interes y esmero que tal obra merece. Triste es la existencia de todo preso, sea cual haya sido su delito.

El privar a un ser humano de su libertad y arrancarlo bruscamente y quiza para siempre de su natural circunstancia, hogar y seres amados, es la verdadera sentencia a una muerte segura, a no ser aquella que por desgracia y desatino se le haya deparado al delincuente en el eterno mundo del sufrimiento. Mas se siente en este pais en el que se considera la libertad como un don divino e innato en toda persona, a diferencia de otros en los que la libertad es mas aparente que real. En Norteamerica la libertad pesa, es palpable, se respira, y al privarsele a una persona de ella, vaga su alma en un mundo de tinieblas y constante desasosiego. Pero asi como se toma en serio la libertad, igual se toma el atentar contra ella, al ultrajar el derecho natural de todo individuo a su bienestar y seguridad segun garantizan sus principios democraticos. De ahi que se castigue severamente al que tal hace con no mas consideracion que la de respetar sus derechos humanos y ciudadanos fundamentales.

El Sr. Jackson es merecedor de la mayor estima y admiracion por haber superado de forma tan ejemplar esa etapa sombria de su vida y ser hoy una persona digna y honorable. Le auguro gran exito a su obra y espero, como el, que cumpla con su noble y bien intencionado proposito." - Dr. Carlos Vega

English Description

Version espanola de Carlos B. Vega - con la colaboracion de Dagmar Vega

"The author of the present book, Michael B. Jackson, has endevored to give the ex-prisioner useful and precise information regarding what he would have to do after being released from prison, and employing in its execution a language fitted to the subject and within the reach of every reader.

Mr. Jackson makes a fine display of his deep humanism and nobility of spirit, and bases his work on his experience as an ex-prisoner himself. He, better than anyone else, knows and understands the penal system of the United States, a knowledge he now gladly shares with those contemplating freedom.

Now, with this new Spanish version, useful and painful at the same time because of its necessity to write it, the Hispanic ex-prisoner would be able to have a better understanding of his duties and how to best fulfill them, thus allowing him to lead a more tranquil and happy life. I am grateful to Mr. Jackson for the opportunity he has afforded me to translate his book into Spanish, and for the trust he has deposited on me to make it worthy of the original. I hope that he, as well as the reader, are satisfied with my work which I have done with the interest and diligence it well deserves.

Sad is the life of every prisoner, regardless of the crime he may have committed. To deprive a human being of his freedom and pull him away abruptly and perhaps forever from his natural circumstance, his home, and his loved ones, is the true sentence to a certain death, unless it is that which by his misfortune and mistake has been put aside for the criminal in the eternal world of suffering. It is much more felt in this country where freedom is considered a divine gift and innate in every person, in contrast to other countries where freedom is more apparent than real. In the United States freedom weighs, it is palpable, it is breathed and, when a person is deprived of it, his soul wanders in a world of darkness and despair. But, as freedom is taken seriously in the United States, it is no less taken to threaten it, to offend deeply the natural right of every individual to his well being and security as guaranteed by the nations democratic principles. Hence it is punished severely when it is abused, with no other consideration to the perpetrator than to respect his fundamental human and citizenship rights.

Mr. Jackson deserves the highest esteem and admiration for having overcome in such an exemplary manner a shadowy stage of his life and to be today a person worthy of deep admiration. I predict that the book would be very successful and hope, as he does, that he is able to attain his noble and well-intentioned objective - Dr. Carlos Vega
