Prison Stories, Paperback/Seth Ferranti

Descriere

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.
