You Are Only Innocent Once, and Once Is Not Enough shows how one man manages to break free of the recidivism cycle and maintain his freedom by going to college while in prison and achieves unparalleled success after his release.A former drug abuser and ex-felon, Martin Terrell is arrested for a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to six to twenty-five years in prison. His claims of innocence are dismissed by all who know him because of his past record. Forced to face the injustice alone, he vows to write a new life story, one that no longer fits the story he'd written as a youth in Cincinnati.Inside again, he manages to control his environment to his advantage and attends the college program offered by the Chillicothe Correctional Institution and Ohio University. Five years later, he graduates summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree. In an unprecedented move, he is awarded a graduate scholarship to the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University upon his release.The rest of the book follows Martin's new script as it unfolds through graduate school at OU and his following career. He becomes the coauthor of a textbook while still a master's student. After working for two years as a member of Ohio University's development office, he is appointed the assistant dean for development in the College of Arts and Sciences. With stops at Florida State University and eventually the United Negro College Fund, he becomes his own man as the vice president and campaign manager for development at Stony Brook University in New York.In this age of civil unrest with its focus on civil injustice and an unjust criminal justice system, You Are Only Innocent Once, and Once Is Not Enough offers a strand of redemption. The story of a man unfairly stripped of his freedom, primarily because he's black and has a previous record, contains all the elements that are under assault for criminal justice reform and penal reform. Martin's use of education to win a victory over that injustice gives us a success story that anyone can identify with.

The author, Akef R. Abadir, born in Tanta, Egypt, was living in Alexandria as the colonial period was drawing to an end in the 1950s and early 1960s. At the time, Alexandria, Egypt, was a multiethnic and cosmopolitan city. The social fabric was composed of an aggregate of Egyptians, Europeans, and other minorities. These different communities and denominations coexisted in relative peace and respect of one another. However, despite what was shared in common, Europeans, in general, whether at home or abroad, seemed to be more progressive than most Egyptians. This discrepancy became even more dramatic as one left the urban centers, such as Cairo and Alexandria, and ventured into rural areas where poverty and illiteracy prevailed.Looking back at life in this Mediterranean city, nothing seemed to point to an answer where religion would be a major factor. In fact, in reaction to a prolonged foreign presence, Egyptian society had been undergoing a gradual cultural change characterized by a return to a more restrictive interpretation and practice of Islam. This observation launched the author, Akef Abadir, on a long period of exploration and research that led to the writing of this book.Currently, East-West relationship is experiencing a period of great instability. It has been suggested that the resolution of this conflict requires reaching a political compromise based on mutual acceptance and understanding. To achieve this goal, it is imperative to address the problem of Islamic modernism and examine the context in which it is taking shape. From the authors viewpoint, what has been written regarding Islamic modernity has not provided a comprehensive overview of the subject. This book intends to address this gap and examine the core issues that have confronted Islam starting from the seventh century to the present.The objective of this book is not to predict when Islam will modernize but rather to explore the current process of change taking place and the obstacles it is facing. The aim is to ultimately promote a constructive dialogue between the Muslim community and the outside world, particularly the West.1fouz in1 his Tril1ogy
