Guero, a young suburban white kid, is thrust into the feds on a
marijuana rap. Facing a lengthy sentence he sets out to make his
mark in the penitentiary and get his respect. While growing into
his manhood amidst the everpresent chaos and twisted realities of
the penitentiary, Guero falls in with a Latino drug smuggling gang
and struggles with his evolving identity as a convict and "vato
loco." Prison Stories is a real-life look into the life of
prisoners confined in the Bureau of Prisons. Short story vignettes
interwoven throughout the pages offer readers a vicarious, personal
experience of everything prison is...the power-tripping of guards,
gangs, prisoners getting turned out, killings and more.
