My greatest hope is that the lessons the stories offer will can help you make better choices than I did.” Stanley “Tookie” Williams, cofounder of the notorious Crips gang, is a death-row inmate.

On this award-winning bookwhich has drawn praise from educators, government leaders, and families alikeWilliams describes the brutal reality of being an inmate. He debunks myths of prisons as “gladiator schools” with blunt, riveting stories of overwhelming homesickness, the terror of solitary confinement, and the humiliation of strip-searches.
