Stanley "Tookie" Williams
Stanley "Tookie" Williams, cofounder of the Crips gang, has
been living on death row at San Quentin State Prison since
1981. During that time, he has been confined to a cell no
bigger than most bathrooms. Williams knows that prison is no
place to call home. But as a child, all he knew of prison
were exciting stories about "gladiator schools" – stories
that made prison sound like the place to be.
Now Williams speaks out about what it's really like in
prison. Rather than being a place where men can prove their
toughness, prison is where men sometimes go stir-crazy, or
are even killed. Williams presents a riveting account of
day-to-day life behind bars, from the humiliation of strip
searches to being locked in solitary confinement in the
Hole. He challenges you to think about how your life would
change if you lived in prison.
