"The real prison I inhabited ... was the guilt. Although I'm now technically free, I still carry my prison with me." The author of this memoir forthrightly speaks of his career from a small-time gang member to his "high school" and "university" in the prison system, and his relentless rise to a position of trust as a violent enforcer for one of the Mexican drug cartels, able to cross our permeable Southern border with impunity and deliver drugs and murder on either side. Now Corona has done his time, testified against former gangster colleagues, and is trying to make "atonement" and peace speaking to at-risk youth ... and writing this book as well.
