by Phyllis Gold (Author)

The author is the letter writer. He has been involved in addiction recovery for almost 3 decades. Throughout this time, his mother has been his support and has loved him unconditionally. She has compiled and edited these personal letters with both courage and love. The letters in the book give the reader a true picture of incarceration in the U.S. of the late 1990's and early 2000's. Here is an inside look at the race relations, inmate jobs, the law officers and the family visits in a facility used to punish drug offenders at that time.
