Good story and basic facts, but AWFUL grammar and spelling. Seriously, was this book edited? I almost gave up a few times because it was so distracting.

Also, the first two chapters (give or take) should be called 'Biography of My Father' because that's all she talks about. It's not even relevant information she gives us, and she does not go into as much detail about any of the other prison personnel (some of whom might be more relevant).

Good information, but difficult to get through.
