Review:
"Torn, Sixty Days of Calabosse" by Tracy James Jones was a fictional diary of Adrian Bailey that has been incarcerated under false pretenses. Adrian has been locked up in the "local county jail (United Rural Farmers Detention Center) for the first time in his life." OMG! What does he have to fear this this place?...Mostly well ... everything.....'including prejudice from someone of his own race' so there is only one thing for him to do and that was 'to succumb to whatever means necessary in order to survive in this place.' Wow! Adrian (Biscuit- his jail name) learns early on that he must "navigate the rocky waters of his incarceration... finding the most amazing array of human emotions
in himself and his fellow inmates...hope, love, humor, courage and the limits of sanity." However, even with all of this against Adrian he was still able to still believe in love and that one day he would be free. Now, this is the time that I say pick up "Torn, Sixty Days of Calabosse" to see for yourself how and what happens in this good read.
The characters that this author portrayed were simply off the chart....playing with all the emotional struggles that can go on in ones mind. All of the characters made this a very intriguing read that I would not put it down until the end. Definitely this author worked it with this wellwritten travel in this dark place and when it's all said and done you are left thinking 'could this really happen! Wow!
