Reviews - What do our customers think?
a rare and powerful glimpse inside a little-known world  Mar 7, 2008
Dennis Burke has captured the "soul" of San Quentin in this moving and
provocative exploration of the minds and lives of the men who struggle daily
to find meaning behind the walls of our massive, oppressive, and unforgiving
prisons.

He tells the story of San Quentin, and more than that, the story life in
prisons everywhere, as only an insider can do. It takes at least a decade in
the bowels of the monster to understand it and to fathom the souls of those
who have been--or may be--consumed by it. And Burke has "done his time" there.

In the end, this is an inspired and inspiring account of the human condition--replete with
telling insights into the rainbow of hate, violence, intolerance, racism,
cruelty, despair, intimacy, strength, weakness, humor, love, and hope that
define us all.
