This book is about an inmates life inside the Department of Corrections. I venture through two county jails, two state prisons, and a work release center. It addresses why individuals are sentenced to prison instead of alternative sentencing and discusses their opportunity to be productive while incarcerated. It reveals the day-to-day trials and tribulations of inmates and their families. This story was written to make people realize that the selfish decisions they make affect their families and others in their daily life.
