Description
Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man's Prison T. J. Parsell's story is one of survival and resilience in the face of unimaginable trauma. At seventeen, he was sentenced to prison after a reckless act, but his experience behind bars was far from ordinary. The events of that first night, in which he was brutally attacked and forced to keep silent, had a profound impact on his life. This is a story that has long been overlooked, but Parsell's voice brings it to the forefront. As one of America's leading spokespeople for prison reform, he shares his personal account of life in prison, exposing the dark secrets of an often-exploited system. With courage and determination, Parsell sheds light on the harsh realities of prison life, giving voice to countless others who have been silenced. Through his story, Parsell challenges the way we think about prison and its inhabitants. This is a powerful and thought-provoking memoir that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
