Beyond The Razor Wire: (A collection of poem from inmates)
by Rick Conner
Category: Poetry

The long strands of razor wire conceal from society what it is like on the inside. There is another world filled with violence, fear, hopelessness, and despair, which is seldom shared with the outside world. In this anthology, thirty-five inmates share their hearts and minds in poetry and prose. Some are vengeful; some are angry, and others are resentful. But each person expresses themselves freely from their point of view. David Berkowitz, the notorious murderer known as Son of Sam, shares his testimony of how God touched his life one evening in a cold and lonely prison cell. Today, David Berkowitz is known as the Son of Hope. Many inmates, who will never see the light of day again, share their poems and prose in this collection, Beyond The Razor Wire.
