This is the true story of a societal renegade and his ambition to find contentment. After months of emotional turmoil and self-righteous disdain for commonality, he walked off campus with a ruck-sack, intending to begin living purposefully. On his way toward the east coast, he pulled off an I-87 exit in upstate New York to take a spiritual sabbatical in the beautiful landscapes of the Adirondack Mountains. After a week of meditation and mental catharsis, he continued toward the east coast, making a detour through Montreal where he would be unjustly arrested. The Prison Chronicles is an enthralling discord detailing the clash between heinous violence and dehumanization among addicts, fiends, thieves, and murderers and the enduring good in all people-convicts and samaritans alike. Writing with a tenacious yet graceful fervor, Lawrence evokes a heartfelt revelation in the reader as he describes a gratitude for home and reverence for life with the culmination of his first novel.

San Quentin State Prison, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest, is notorious for once holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates’ lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo García, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform.

To Rick's dismay, the cell mate he angered before transferring is also in the same prison. He's beaten up but Bull saves him. The black man lets Rick know that he gets a free save this time, but he'd better be ready to pay him back somehow later.
