Editorial Reviews

This book opened my eyes to the California prison system through the eyes of an inmate. The character B.J wrestles with removing the stain in his memory of a deadly riot that took place at Pelican Bay Prison and looks for ways to avoid another riot. I never knew how little chance inmates have to turn their life around while in prison. The inmates seem to busy just trying to survive gang wars. A penetrating look inside the political landscape of California's most dangerous prison!
