About this listen
In July 1983, James Morgan Kane returned home in the evening to find a corpse in his living room. Fearing that he would be held responsible, and sensing that his wife was involved, he wanted to do all he could to protect his young family. Jamie worked through the night to dispose of the body. But his luck ran out days later, as he was arrested and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Jamie entered the American prison system and was to stay there for 34 years with stints in San Quentin, Folsom State Prison and the notorious Deuel Vocational Institution in California. He would rub shoulders with some of the world's most infamous serial killers and gangs. This book tells of his time locked up with no hope of release, living the brutality of the tough and unforgiving American penitentiary system and finding his new purpose in life.

Interesting but lacked depth
The points raised in the story were interesting and insightful, and it’s clear Kane was subject to horrendous circumstances. However, it felt short for a 34 story and seemed only a handful of experiences were explored in depth. Too much time was spent on minor parts of his life/experiences, when it felt something far more interesting may have happened he could have disclosed. Either way, a good listen, but don’t expect any shock and horror moments.

Insightful and interesting but tragic and sad
Not a terrible amount more to say, Jamie, if you’re reading this, sorry this happened to you buddy, now you’re back in the uk, come see wales, lots of Celtic history. Worth the credit

Interesting and moving
This guy comes across as decent, so it’s hard to listen to how he was stitched up by pretty much everyone in his life. I actually shouted ‘no!’ at certain points in the narrative. I’m enjoying his directness and the no frills approach to story telling too. I sincerely hope things got better for him.

his honesty
A fascinating insight to American prisons. The frightening consequence of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of not being listened to and not being believed. Of the stoic ability to remain true to yourself and belief in your own self. This man's ability to remain positive in the face of adversity and to keep his eyes focused on just surviving and moving forward.

You can't choose your family...
Well there's so much I could say but I think the best way to sum up this story is 'the wrong place at the wrong time'...excellently narrated & I've gotta say this is a story of a man that won't sell out or be broken. He was dealt a dirty hand from day 1! served "his country" then got spat out & trodden on. You can't keep a good man down & this guy is a good man, in my opinion. Oh & I hope Dr Whitmore is feeling the prong of Satan's tale in hell!
