Written by an inmate serving 45 years for a drug conviction when he
was 23, this is an in-depth view living behind bars from the
perspective of prisoners themselves. Sections of the book are based
on length of imprisonment. Prisoners in Fort Dix, N.J., detail
their unique experiences, thoughts, and feelings about "life on the
inside." Some describe the actions that lead to their confinement,
or detail the complexities of living in all-male communities.
Others reveal the ways they cope with their terms, or the
expectations they have for life after prison. Santos offers the
gripping stories of men serving a variety of terms, providing
commentary and analysis as he guides readers through the prison
experience. How men adjust to their confinement, and how they
utilize their time while serving their sentences, can be a
predictor of future success or failure both in prison and society
upon their release. Through these often-difficult accounts, readers
gain a greater understanding of what it means to be a prisoner, and
how the system itself can contribute to both positive adjustment
and negative outcomes alike.
Hi, my name is Iron Shanda Leer, and I'm the nicest egomaniac
you'll ever meet. I also happen to be one of America's rock and
roll legends. My band, The Signs, have come a really freaking long
way, and I decided to write this book because, frankly, the stories
I have to tell are awesome. You'll love them. I certainly do. It's
all about the band, my brainless (yet great) cousin Bennie, and me
of course. It's a lot of comedy and some other stuff like romance,
too. Read it...you won't regret it.
In a bomb shelter outside of Richmond, Virginia, four survivors of
a devastating invasion of the country fight for their continued
existence. Personal problems begin to divide them, but soon the
group faces the very real threat of a quickly diminishing food
supply. They must choose between staying within their sanctuary or
leaving in hopes of more supplies and the possibility of better
lives. They have spent two years under the attackers' radar, safely
hidden away, but now their attempts to return to the outside world
may be the end of the security and survival they have come to know.
