"Time Served is poetic proof of Carlos Contreras's personal and literary commitment to serve as a respectful and honest witness to painful struggles, dark corners, unexpected art, and honest humanity that exist in and outside of correctional facilities; exist in and outside of not-so-perfect, but loving families; and most definitely reside within all human beings."--Shelle Sanchez, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs
