I don't know for sure, but I believe this is an abbreviated version of or introduction to some of Yonn's other writings. Or maybe it's a short-story form of memoir about life in prison. Either way, it has a unique charm to it, mostly because of the author's hilarious take on the federal government and his own situation (getting caught smuggling a couple tons of marijuana into the U.S.).The book is missing a cohesive thread of narrative. It's kind of a shotgun approach to  the "lighter side" of being a federal prisoner. Despite this, it's an enjoyable short read that definitely makes you want to check out Yonn's longer works, at least one of which also deals with life on the inside. I recommend it for anyone looking for a quick read and a a good laugh with no sermons or excuses attached.
