A substantial and moving collection of prison letters written by George Lester Jackson (1941-1971), written chiefly from Soledad Correction Training Facility and San Quentin Prison. Published two years before his death in San Quentin and the release of Blood In My Eye, this collection of letters to family, friends, and supporters paints a bleak picture of his struggle to maintain humanity while behind bars. "Jackson pleads and reasons and even threatens in a desperate effort to make his family understand his life, to make them aware of the monstrous things that are being done to him inside prison because he refuses to submit to the debasing and brutalizing practices of the prison authorities, to make the family accept his total commitment to revolutionary change (from the flap text).
