I was terrified of going to jail. I shouldn't have been. Much to my surprise, my time in jail turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. I learned a lot from the many inmates I met, like: "The Miracle Man," who came out of a coma so deep that his fingernails and toenails had fallen out A slow-motion ecstasy user who wants to go to clown college The illiterate heroin user with a Mohawk, few teeth, and acid reflux A construction worker who witnessed two murders "Jailhouse Christians," who are drug dealers out of jail, but devout Christians once they're locked up The mentally retarded inmate locked up for sexual assault Elvis, who was sentenced to a year in jail for buying beer The heroin-addicted drug counselor who woke up in his car soaking wet, not knowing how he got there"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Jail" is not only a fascinating read, but you will learn valuable lessons, such as: You Don't Need Underwear Don't Stick a Pencil in Your Eye Never Waste a Miracle Refuse to Wear the Helmet Don't Play with Guns Know Why You're Locked Up"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Jail" is not only a positive, uplifting read, but makes a great gift.
