Abstract: "This is his memoir. It begins with an almost unbearable account of his early years, when he was so abused by his father one wonders how he survived, and his "escape" into a crowd of hooligans, which led him to that fateful day in 1965 when he held up the convenience store. His unvarnished story takes you behind the metal doors of the Angola State Penitentiary - and other Louisiana prisons - to reveal the brutal truth of life inside.
