Serving time for drug smuggling in the early 1980, this ex Vietnam War pilot was not the normal face of an incarcerated American. Learn of Hawkeye's experiences - good and bad, sad and humorous, dangerous and surprising - in the U.S. prison world. This quote from the book perhaps sums it up "Beeing locked up is the male equivalent of having PMS. It's an emotional roller coaster, and you can never predict on a day-to-day basis where the scary parts of the ride are going to be. One day it might be a confrontation with a guard, some other time is might be a bad-news letter from home, or on another day it might be a hostile inmate not liking the way you looked at him...."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great prison memoir,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tales From the Joint (Paperback)
I've read a few prison memoirs, and this one is definitely the best. Most similar books are written by knuckleheads, for knuckleheads, but not this one. The author was a Vietnam era pilot, and his education and intelligence put this book in a completely different class from other prison memoirs.
