Publisher Description

“Guero,” a young suburban white kid, is thrust into the feds on a marijuana rap. Facing a lengthy sentence in the corrupt and violent netherworld of prison, Guero sets out to make his reputation and get his respect.

While growing into his manhood amidst the ever-present chaos and twisted realities of the penitentiary, Guero falls in with a Latino drug smuggling gang and struggles with his evolving identity as a convict and “vato loco.”

Prison Stories is a real-life look into the life of prisoners confined in the Bureau of Prisons. Short story vignettes interwoven throughout the pages offer readers a vicarious, personal experience of everything prison is…the power-tripping of guards, gangs, prisoners getting turned out, killings and more.
