Excellent, excellent! As much as was possible, Ken Cooper gives us a picture of life behind bars in some of the most notorious prisons in Florida. His real-life experience says more than words. And he gives us just a glimpse of the criminal mind.
I thought the book was well written, knowing that volumes are enclosed in this small edition. With all the experience at his disposal I felt that Ken Cooper extracted enough of the necessary pros and cons of his double life and his prison families to prepare us for his redemptive story. But, oh, what he must have anguished over to narrow down and encapsulate the facts to just this miniscule account. God bless him, his family, victims of ALL crimes, and those who seek to help redeem the perpetrators who are prisoners of themselves, and usually a past, that refuses to set them free.
