Actually, writing this book was sort of journaling for me as a way to get out my feelings, all the guilt, hurt, and pain that comes with being Black and addicted, growing up in the ghetto\/projects. What you witness as a child can sometimes become part of your thinking and doing. Criminal behavior is a learned behavior, just like racism. It can destroy you and your loved ones. The twisted way of thinking is thought to be normal-going to prison, normal, and getting out and looking good, normal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, you'll see how I used pain as a source of information to change my overall situation. I wrote it from a place where I found a sense of perfect peace, federal prison.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46316796641431,"sku":"9781662437984","price":1124.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781662437984.webp?v=1768677942","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/from-the-cradle-to-the-cage-9781662437984","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
