Journey with the author as he describes what happened to him, how the courts reacted to him, and how he adjusts to living a year of his life in prison. Relive the scenes that occurred around him, and learn what it's like in a moderate security prison from his point of view, and how all the stories you've heard before about prison life are usually distorted. Experience the wide range of emotions he felt as he fought for his life, when his freedom was taken from him, and how he was determined to stay above the mentality of those he was surrounded by so that he could become a productive member of society when the nightmare was over.
