Summary
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.

Insightful and interesting but tragic and sad
Not a terrible amount more to say, Jamie, if you’re reading this, sorry this happened to you buddy, now you’re back in the uk, come see wales, lots of Celtic history. Worth the credit

Unbelievable
I throughly enjoyed this book. not a happy tale by any stretch but well written, funny, sad, informative and upbeat. It beggars belief this could happen in 21 Century America.

Glad he's back home.
Saw a podcast of this man a couple of years ago. Glad he went ahead with writing a book about his life.

You can't choose your family...
Well there's so much I could say but I think the best way to sum up this story is 'the wrong place at the wrong time'...excellently narrated & I've gotta say this is a story of a man that won't sell out or be broken. He was dealt a dirty hand from day 1! served "his country" then got spat out & trodden on. You can't keep a good man down & this guy is a good man, in my opinion. Oh & I hope Dr Whitmore is feeling the prong of Satan's tale in hell!
