Book Reviews of BEHIND BARS: Surviving Prison

Book Review: ....hope you never need this book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a realistic but humorous treatment of being processed by
the criminal justice system, and if need be incarceration. Although it
should have college and university classroom use, it might serve as a
wake up call for young adults who may be going down the wrong path.
BEHIND BARS should be required reading for high school students,
particularly those who live in underprivileged areas. The book should
also be on the "resource" shelf of guidance counsellors and social

workers who work there. The dark humor writing style is easily accessible
and reminds me at times of me of Hunter S. Thompson, or P.J. O'Rourke
