Refuge in Hell: Finding God in Sing Sing
The author served for many years as the Catholic chaplain at Sing Sing prison—our local maximum security state prison. Without romanticizing the prisoners, he humanizes them, gives a compelling picture of the oppressiveness of the prison system, and, through moving stories, describes the challenge of proclaiming the gospel in such an environment.

Fr. Lemmert served as the Catholic chaplain for 16 years to the men incarcerated at Sing Sing. This is a collection of anecdotes from that ministry and brief introductions to the men he served. He communicates a genuine respect for the men who made up his congregation for those years. He also reveals a strong disrespect for the prison system and for most of the people who work for it.
