"Incarcerated" is based on a true story, and not unlike a memoir it
gives a first-hand account of a three-year imprisonment of an
innocent man.
Steven the book's main character describes his trials and
tribulations in vivid details from the first day of his
incarceration to the day of his release. Telling it in a third
person but in a narrative fashion he paints an overarching expose
of the American 'Justice Industry' especially of the workings of
the courts, lawyers, county jails, state and federal prisons.
Inexperienced with the law and lawyers, coupled with his belief
in the mantra of "innocent until proven guilty" Steven lost his
job, his pension, his house, his reputation and ultimately his
freedom as well.
Steven's prison experience is an eye-opener not only for himself
but for the reader as well. In the three years Steven endured
foreign prisons, an extradition process and all the terrible
conditions a county jail, a federal and state prison could offer.
Other than suffering from cold, hunger, sleep-deprivation, mental
abuse and physical hardship of various forms Steven also
encountered inmates in all shapes, sizes and character. The reader
may conclude that amongst all of the adverse conditions the worst
are undoubtedly the inmates, they are the ones who actually make
prison life harder. Inmates' behaviors - at least to a certain
extent - mirror society that by and large created them. Greed,
fights, betrayals, connivance all exist on the outside - in prison
they are magnified since inmates live in close confinements
practically on top of each other.
Steven's journey from freedom to a Hungarian prison, county
jail, federal and state prison provides the reader with an insight
that sometimes is humorous but more often very ugly and downright
terrifying.
