No Choirboy

My lastest book I am reading is called Choirboy, by Susan Kuklin. The book is about the story of teenagers on deathrow. It is a truely moving book about what these kids did to get onto deathrow and how they handled it. This book also gives a very indepth look at prison life, without leaving out details that would normally be edited out like: Rape, murder, beat-downs, Gangs, brutal gaurds, and horrible living conditions. The first story is of a Kevin Gardner. Kevin was put on death row and he described what it was like. Kevin later describes that Regular prisions and DeathRow were two completely different animals so to speak. Death row is a band of brothers looking out for eachother, teaching eachother.Were as regular prision is a war zone with a 'dog eat dog mentality'. That is as far as I have gotten, but the book has captivated me from the moment I started reading the first page.
