This book is about some of my memories, thoughts and experiences while I was incarcerated for 15 years in some of Ohio's hardest prisons between the years of 1987 and 2002 when I was released. The prisons include Mansfield Prison; Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville; Trumbull Correctional Institute; Manci, the new prison in Mansfield. This book is set up in section form; meaning, that each prison is a section. In the Lucasville section, I tell of the Lucasville Riot that happened in April 1993, the longest lasting prison riot in our country. There are other books out there written about the Lucasville Riot, but they were 2nd or 3rd hand knowledge NOT 1st hand knowledge by someone who was there, saw and experienced it all. This book also exposes some of the corruption that goes on in some of Ohio's prisons, on both sides of the bars.
