About this ebook
Lacy is a master storyteller. This autobiographical account of life in South Central Los Angeles and some of the nation’s toughest prisons reads like a masterfully crafted work of fiction. Gangs, drugs, bank heists, murder and retaliatory murder will grip you by the throat and hold you breathless with each turn of the page.
In Lacy’s fact filled drama, you get to walk the bloodied corridors of some of America’s notorious prisons, and brush shoulders with some of America’s most infamous criminals. Lacy’s moral character develops with each triumph over tribulation, eventually leading him to a point in life where he overcomes his criminal impulses.
This book entertains, educates and frightens with a heart aching clarity. A must read for anyone contemplating a life of crime and a much needed help for any parent trying to scare their teen straight. In his life’s story lie hard learned lessons about the detriments of rebelliousness and crime.
