About this listen
In July 1983, James Morgan Kane returned home in the evening to find a corpse in his living room. Fearing that he would be held responsible, and sensing that his wife was involved, he wanted to do all he could to protect his young family. Jamie worked through the night to dispose of the body. But his luck ran out days later, as he was arrested and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Jamie entered the American prison system and was to stay there for 34 years with stints in San Quentin, Folsom State Prison and the notorious Deuel Vocational Institution in California. He would rub shoulders with some of the world's most infamous serial killers and gangs. This book tells of his time locked up with no hope of release, living the brutality of the tough and unforgiving American penitentiary system and finding his new purpose in life.

This book should be renamed "Murphy's Law"
Now, let me first preface this review by saying that I'm a sucker for a memoir of this nature, and personal accounts of survival against the odds in particular. So this review may be a little biased as this book falls well within a genre of preference for me. So I went into it expecting to be moved.
And boy, was I not disappointed.
I think this book should be retitled "Murphy's Law" because it applies to this story in spades. I can't believe the amount of resilience and trials that were witnessed while reading/listening to this story. How can one person endure so much? It really puts things into perspective. The amount of times my jaw hit the ground just listening to this honest account of someone so unjustly treated not only by society but by fate itself. It's incredible. Prison sounds awful. And the justice system gives anything but justice. How much bad luck can one person have? I man, you just can't make this shit up. I won't say more because I don't want to ruin the story for anyone but suffice it to say that I am moved to contact the author and tell him just how much my heart goes out to him for what he has endured. Babies are innocent creatures and this man, cheated by everyone who was supposed to love and support him SINCE BIRTH, has risen above adversity in such a way as to be commended. Fantastic story.
The best way I know how to support him is to praise this work and tell everyone to read it. You won't regret it. I promise.
