The cover art for 'Welcome to Prison...' isn't exactly eye-catching, so, when I bought this book, it went straight to my "to be read but I'll probably never read it" pile. In a moment of boredom, I picked the book up. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Hugh Yonn was sent to a federal prison after being convicted of a conspiracy to move and distribute over 12,000 pounds of marijuana. He gives us a humorous, witty, and even occasioanlly gut-wrenching look at life within federal prison walls. He has a way of making you feel like you could relate to him (and I am the wife of a prison guard, of all things!).Very well written and engaging. My only complaint -and this is a big one- is that 'Welcome to Prison...' is way too short. Hugh only shares the first year of the four years he spent behind bars. What happened during the rest of his stay? What happened when he was released? Where was his family during these years?Hugh..I hope you will consider writing and sharing the rest of your story. This reader would definitely purchase it!
