Memoir: Delaware County Prison (Paperback or Softback)

After committing credit card fraud at a local department store, 18-year-old Reginald Hall lands an eight-month sentence at the Delaware County Prison. What complicates his life as an inmate is his sexual orientation. In life, being gay is difficult enough; in prison, it can be a horrendous ordeal. Attempting suicide, taking drugs, and having illicit sex were only some of the self-destructive behaviors Reginald dabbled in. His only sanity came from family visits and frequent phone calls to relatives, especially his mother, his reaching out to God, and his few genuine friendships formed in jail, particularly with Lamont. This is not to say Reginald was an angel during his stay at DCP. He had plenty of jailhouse crushes, some of them inappropriate - like his infatuation with Teddy Cunningham. Teddy had it all: looks, money, respect, and a big love muscle that Reginald just lusted for.

Reginald Hall, a confident, outspoken advocate for gay rights, is most famous for his numerous guest appearances on popular television talk programs such as "The Ricki Lake Show."

Intelligent and self-assured, Reginald has an outgoing personality and remarkable writing talent well beyond most of his 20-something peers. ‘Reg,’ as he is known to his friends, grew up in West Philadelphia where he was raised by his mother and grandmother. He has won numerous awards for being "The Most Outstanding Advocate" in high school, while assisting many children in The Big Brothers and Big Sisters program of Philadelphia.

Memoir marks Reginald Hall’s literary debut. He is currently working on his next book, called Smoking Cigarettes.
