What if you were locked in a confinement cell and forced to live with a psychopathic rapist and murderer because the guards wanted to teach you a lesson, or forced to live with a sick, perverted child molester who got excited every time he watched children’s programs on TV.
“….prison is not the trembling, “What’s that noise; somebody’s going to hurt me” fear. It’s the fear of being kept, treated, and controlled like an animal. It’s the fear of losing your human dignity.”
I have written this autobiography of my 15 years in prison to give people, especially our youth, the reality of prison life and it's harmful culture - to take away any glamour or illusion that media has portrayed. Throughout my autobiography, I take the reader through my years in the Illinois prison system from the unpredictably chaotic county jail awaiting trial, the disturbing and abnormal thinking and behavior of those surviving in maximum security, and the many absurd encounters I've had with inmates as well as relationships with family and friends.
