I read this thinking it would be more of a “Prison Survival” type book, and I picked this up on a novelty. What I found was a very interesting page turner about how a seemingly regular 9-5 person let his bad choices lead him into a situation where he landed in prison for murder.

I don’t want to say that Jimmy had it easy in prison, becuase nothing about jail is easy. However, he did get lucky in that he made friends with the right people. Jimmy seems like a likeable, friendly and trustworthy guy, and it is what kept his head above water while doing time.

Most of this book is about Jimmy’s time in prison. However, the last chapter deals with the events that led him there.

I really became engrossed in the story and was reading late into the nights to finish this. This book still leaves a few unanswered questions, and I would be interested in reading a “part II” to this to see how ‘OG” finished out his time, and how his life is going now.
