Adrian is locked up in the "local county jail (United Rural Farmers Detention Center) for the first time in his life." OMG! What does he have to fear this this place?...Mostly well ...'including prejudice from someone of his own race' so there is only one thing for him to do and that was 'to succumb to whatever means necessary in order to survive.' Wow! Adrian (Biscuit- his jail name) learns early on that he must "navigate the rocky waters of his incarceration... finding the most amazing array of human emotions in hmself and his fellow inmates...hope, love, humor, courage and the limits of sanity." However, even with all of this against Adrian he was still able to still believe in love and that oneday he would be free. Now, this is the time that I say pick up "Torn, Sixty Days of Calabosse" to see for yourself how and what happens in this good read.The characters that this author protrayed were simply off the chart playing with all the emotional struggles that can go on in ones mind. All of the characters....making this a very intriguing read that I would not put it down until the end. Definitely this author worked it with this well written travel in this dark place and when it's all said and done.... this could happen! Wow!Quote:"Within a minute I realized that one of our boys was definitely going to catch the chain" meaning departure from within was soon.Yes, this is a gay novel and if you can enter into "Torn, Sixty Days of Calaboose" then be prepared for a good emotional read. This is a Adult read and I would recommend this novel as a good read.
