The memoirs of a young man who was found guilty of robbing a liquor store and was sentenced to 20 years in prison while his partner-in-crime was given probation. For such a book, it is not all that intense or gritty, but does give a good impression of prison life at the time that the books was written in. The impression one gets, although probably misleading, is that of a decent guy who was treated rather harshly by the legal system. Not really impressive, but worth an afternoon maybe.
