Book Description
This book is dedicated to my father Jerome Williams. This book is a combination of the writings of my father and mine. A collection of poems, letters, and stories. These poems and letters are true work of both authors and the stories I wrote are pure and positive imagination. This is a rare collaboration of its kind because my father had life in the Maryland State Penitentiary and wrote his poems before he passed on. And me his son was incarcerated in a Federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania where my writing began. Although both of us were incarcerated in different states; ironically we wrote on some of the same subjects but different titles. I don't know if it's hereditary or just a freak incident. But growing up I have always heard people say, "Like father, like son." So please enjoy this extraordinary book by father and son. Which will share some of our deepest thoughts, emotions, and experiences through our writings in the plight of our incarceration?

A Question of Freedom
Author: Dwayne Betts
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101133368
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
A unique prison narrative that testifies to the power of books to transform a young man's life At the age of sixteen, R. Dwayne Betts-a good student from a lower- middle-class family-carjacked a man with a friend. He had never held a gun before, but within a matter of minutes he had committed six felonies. In Virginia, carjacking is a "certifiable" offense, meaning that Betts would be treated as an adult under state law. A bright young kid, he served his nine-year sentence as part of the adult population in some of the worst prisons in the state. A Question of Freedom chronicles Betts's years in prison, reflecting back on his crime and looking ahead to how his experiences and the books he discovered while incarcerated would define him. Utterly alone, Betts confronts profound questions about violence, freedom, crime, race, and the justice system. Confined by cinder-block walls and barbed wire, he discovers the power of language through books, poetry, and his own pen. Above all, A Question of Freedom is about a quest for identity-one that guarantees Betts's survival in a hostile environment and that incorporates an understanding of how his own past led to the moment of his crime.
