Sentenced to 9½ years in Arizona’s state
prison for distributing Ecstasy, Shaun Attwood finds himself living among violent
gang members, sexual predators and drug-crazed psychopaths. After being
attacked by a 20-stone Californian biker, Shaun writes about the prisoners who
befriend, protect and inspire him, including T-Bone who risks his life saving
vulnerable inmates from rape, and Two Tonys, an old-school Mafia murderer.
Shaun is no stranger to love and lust in
the heterosexual world, but the tables are turned on him inside. Prison Time is the first book to detail the
sex lives of prisoners.
Trying to understand his past behaviour,
Shaun immerses himself in psychology and philosophy, and begins applying what
he learns to prison life. Encouraged by Two Tonys to explore fiction as well,
Shaun reads over a thousand books which, with support from a brilliant
psychotherapist, Dr. Owen, speed along his personal development. As his ability
to deflect daily threats improves, Shaun begins to look forward to his release
with optimism and a new love waiting for him. Yet the words of Aristotle from
one of Shaun’s books will prove prophetic: “We cannot learn without pain.”
