Publisher's Synopsis
Prison is a word which conjures up different things to the people who hear it. To some, it is a place where people are simply locked away for a period of time, away from society. Others may think it is a place where torture, fear, violence and hopelessness are common place, whereas some may think it a place of rehabilitation. Then there are those who believe it is a state of mind. This book is the ultimate guide to what it is like behind bars in America, by a man who spent 34 years locked up for a crime he didn't commit. It lays bare the day-to-day existence of prisoners and the hustles they get up to in order to survive.
