Each story tells a slice of life in a men's prison. The author makes the inmates sound sympathetic and very human.
My favorite story tells of a man who randomly dials phone numbers to see if he can find anyone to talk to. After reading this book - and this story in particular, I will certainly accept the charges if I'm ever called collect by some lonely soul in prison.
Really well done.
