He is completely unprepared for prison life, and once inside he refuses to adapt, although he does realize he is going to need some protection if he is to survive his term. He joins a gang led by the vicious Slocum (Vic Morrow) but discovers, too late, that Slocum may be more dangerous as a friend than as a foe.

You stand outside with your neighbors and watch, or maybe you peek out your curtains. Hours pass, then days, maybe years. Then one day there is a knock at your door and the police take you in for questioning. Do you remember what happened? Do you have an alibi? Can you take countless hours of interrogation without breaking? This can happen to you. And it happens to more people than you think. Stories from The Fixer to The Shawshank Redemption have for decades catered to audiences' grim fascination with wrongful imprisonment -- one's worst nightmare come to life. In Stolen Years, the stories are true. The ten former inmates profiled here fended off the blackest despair so they could keep fighting for freedom. Once out, they faced a new struggle: getting back to living after losing so many years behind bars. Intense, startling, and utterly compelling, Stolen Years will take readers into the lives of the jailed innocent.

You'll never believe me : a life of lies, second tries, and things I should only tell my therapist / by Ferrell, Kari,author.;
Adopt Don't Shop -- Let's Get Celestial -- The Lasting Effects of "Pay What You Weigh" Restaurants -- I Meant to Do That -- Baby's First Grift -- Lexicon Artist -- Hot Dogs & Hand Jobs -- Capture -- Riot Grrrl -- Con Air -- The Long Haul -- The Long Haul Part Two: Electric Chair Boogaloo -- Trailer Trash -- Murder Suicide -- Han Ball -- Return to the Motherland -- A Work in Progress"The compelling, edgy, compassionate, laugh-out-loud memoir from Kari Ferrell, formerly known as the Hipster Grifter Before Anna Delvey, before the Tinder Swindler, there was Kari Ferrell. Adopted at a young age by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, leading her to run with the "bad crowd" in an effort to fit in. Soon, she graduated from petty crimes to more serious grifts, stealing money from unsuspecting targets and eventually hitting Utah's Most Wanted List. Desperate for a fresh start, she moves to New York City, slips into the indie-sleaze scene where she games her way to a job at Vice News, picks up men and their wallets at clandestine bars, and becomes known as the Hipster Grifter, a moniker that she would never escape. As the media--in true early aughts form--begins to sensationalize and fetishize her story and thousands followed along online, she hides from cops in a grungy Brooklyn apartment, eventually goes to jail where she survives prison riots and makes friends with her fellow inmates, struggles in a trailer park after her release , and in search of her roots, returns to Korea for the first time since birth. In turns rollicking and irreverent, warm and compassionate, Kari's is a heartfelt memoir of redemption and reconciliation, as she eventually dedicates her life to activism, social justice, reform, and setting the record straight. You'll Never Believe Me tells Kari's story for the first time, introducing a fresh, hilarious new voice to the literary stage, and offering readers a nostalgic, uplifting, and, at times, unbelievable book that grapples with truth, why we lie, and what it means when our pasts don't paint the whole picture"--

The Galvanized Yankees. by Brown, Dee,1908-2002.(CARDINAL)142718;
Bibliography: pages 227-231."Bloody year on the plains" -- Oaths and allegiances -- Soldiering on the wide Missouri -- "Give it back to the Indians" -- From the Cimarron to the Powder -- From Camp Douglas to Camp Douglas -- The incredible Captain Shanks -- Ohioans from Dixie : the Powder River expedition -- Blizzard march -- Last man out -- A note on the Galvanized Confederates.Told here for the first time is the story of some 6,000 Americans who served as outpost guardians for the nation that they each had sought to destroy. This is the story of the Galvanized Yankees, as these United States Volunteers came to be called. They were soldiers of the Confederate United States of America who were recruited from Union prison camps in the North to fight the Indians of the West. They exchanged their Confederate and butternut for the blue uniforms of the United States Army on the condition that they would not be sent South to fight their former comrades. This is the story of their adventures from September 1864 to November 1866 as they soldiered in the American West. The six regiments of Galvanized Yankees wrote a proud record as they fought Indians, guarded surveying parties for the Union Pacific Railroad, escorted supply trains along the Oregon and Santa Fe trails, rebuilt hundreds of miles of telegraph lines destroyed by Indians, accompanied expeditions, protected stage coach routes, and manned lonely frontier forts and outposts. Across the vast American frontier they served -- from Fort Kearney to Julesburg, from Julesburg to Laramie and along the Sweetwater through South Pass to Utah, from Julesburg up the South Platte to Denver, by Cache La Poudre to the Laramie Plains and Fort Bridger, from Fort Randall up past Sully to Rice, Berthold and union, from Fort Ellsworth to Dodge and Fort Lyon to Santa Fe. They made themselves a part of all the raw and racy names in that wild land of buffalo and Indians -- Cottonwood Springs and Three Crossings, Lodgepole and Alkali Station, Medicine Creek and Sleeping Water, Fort Zarah and White Earth River, St. Mary's, Fort Wicked, Laughing Wood, Soldier Creek, Rabbit Ear Mound, Dead Man's Ranche, and the Lightning's Nest. They knew Jim Bridger, Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Spotted Tail and Red Cloud before the outside world had even heard these now celebrated names. This is the story of exciting Indian fights and tedious garrison duty at lonely frontier outposts, of winter hardships and summer heat, of white women freed from Indian captors and Mormon maids captivated by U.S. soldiers. This is the story of men like the incredible John T. Shanks, Confederated soldier, prisoner of war, spy for the Union, and captain of the United States Volunteers; Colonel Charles Dimon and his ill-timed howitzer salute at a peace council; Henry M. Stanley, an Englishman who served in the Confederate Army, Union Army, and Union Navy before he managed to find Dr. David Livingston in Africa; the half-breed Bent brothers out to avenge the Sand Creek massacre; General Alfred Sully; Colonel Henry E. Maynadier; Spotted Tail and his daughter Fleet Foot; and others. After a century the Galvanized Yankees have been almost forgotten. Many of them died wearing their adopted blue uniforms -- killed by Indians, scurvy, epidemic disease, wintry blizzards. Some of them deserted, although their rate of desertion was only slightly higher than that in the Union's state volunteer regiments. At the end of their service they were discharged at Forts Leavenworth and Kearney. The scattered with the winds, some choosing new names and new homes. They were a lost legion, unhonored, unsung. No southern state would claim them, the Grand Army of the Republic forgot them. This is their fascinating and long-overdue story -- told by a well-known writer on the American West and Civil War -- Book jacket.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Jed Colter goes in search of his father, who has been smuggled out of a Union prison camp near the end of the Civil War and placed in forced labor.

As the Union Pacific Railroad rapidly approaches Cheyenne in its quest to join up with the Central Pacific Railroad in Utah, Colter learns there might be more in its cargo than everyone has been led to believe. Ellen Wellsley, a beautiful, raven-haired lady with a troubled past who is unknowingly linked to Colter, provides him with information seemingly connecting the Union Pacific to his father. All the while lurking in the shadows, a young gunfighter stalks Colter and his friend Sheriff Luke Radison. When the mystery man guns down Radison, Colter has to wonder, will he be next?
