The plot (which in this case is the description of the life of Bunker):
After some hesitation, I managed to finish the book in these days of Bunker that, more than others, I was deeply impressed, almost disgusted, from the U.S. prison system .
Most of the other books, this word for word lists for the life of Bunker, since, boy, was in and out of houses of correction, reformers, to the worst jails of California, San Quentin.
had strong intelligence, but could not bear the charges and rules. It is often found in situations created by others, but the truth is that he could not return to the rails of a lifetime "regular."
E 'also managed to pass himself off as crazy, aggression never occurred to invent, to acquire such a form of respect from other prisoners.
has tried drugs, spinels from the holes, but the strong contrast that permeates its history, and reads a lot and had a culture well ahead of his fellow inmates.
beaten by guards, escaped the attentions of gay prisoners, tried to somehow survive to 17 years imprisonment, which he served, reading and writing.
hard to condense 500 pages of violence and brutality, hard not to mention the phenomenon of racism and war among prisoners only to skin color, hard not to be disgusted by this cruelty.
hard not to love this character, who managed to emerge and lead the last period of his life as a "normal" person.
A book in some ways ... boring description of what the evil may be part of us and what roles can be reversed, and ambiguity reigns between jailers and inmates.
