Monkey off my back

Jack Brown. A biting, flamboyant character. He was a junkie, con-man, convict and killer. Jack has spent more time in prisons than most people have on their jobs. Jack was a con-man who had to "earn" tons of money to support his drug habit, but the trail of easy money always led back to the same place -- stone walls, iron bars, guards. Sure, Jack knew men of underworld infamy -- "Machine Gun" Kelley, Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, the "birdman of Alcatraz," and all. But they didn't help him. Jack was in and out of hospitals and penitentiaries like they had revolving doors. But they didn't help either. Jack's story of prison life is unbelievable -- of beatings, fights, riots, rotten guards, murders, immoralities of every description -- but the real story is in the way he escaped all this. All because of a wife, a family, a God, all who refused to give up on him. - Back cover.
