Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison by Shaka Senghor

3.0

A murderer goes to prison. He writes his memoirs. I'm always surprised that inmates can do that while serving hard time. I'm also surprised that murderers can do several years then get out. During prison, Shaka became a father and grandfather. He was in solitary confinement for 4.5 of those years.

For someone who discovered religion and became pretty religious in jail (he was nominated as a Spiritual Advisor) he was still pretty hypocritical and didn't apply anything at all. He didn't evolve while in prison like he said he did, except for him reading books and attempting to write books.

Why is his name Shaka because as a kid his name was John? I must have zoned out how he was able to get a girlfriend while in prison.

I don't like this guy.
