This book is a story or series of stories about people. People in prison: some are employees, but most are inmates. This book is their story. In prison everyone has a story and most want to tell their story. The main problem is to get someone to listen. It is often a story of violence, a story of loneliness, and in many cases the horror of the unknown. This book is the result of countless hours of listening to story by story of hatred. Countless days (indeed years) about plans for that "day" when they get out. This book is the "Boiling Down" of the American version of 'Crime And Punishment'. Hopefully someone will see a ray of hope in the human predicament called Crime.
