Life Has Been Kicking My Ass

By James Jones

Cody Black has been in prison for over thirty years. Put there by overzealous police and tortured by upstanding, prominent citizens, he is wrongfully arrested, charged, and sentenced to death. But who would believe the claims of a convicted felon?

Cody is left to fight for himself behind bars in order to stay alive, physically and emotionally. He could shut out all the good he’s seen and become the monster they believe him to be. Instead, he clings to his faith in a loving God who will one day show him mercy, unlike the ogres he is surrounded by day to day.

The phrase “And Justice for All” has a nice ring to it, but for Cody, the words aren’t true. He has not found equity; he has found abuse from people who believe the eyes of justice are blind to their acts of cruelty and neglect. Does Cody have a chance for salvation on Earth? Is there a way for him to be set free of his captors? There might be, but he needs your help.
