To:
All the children who shared with me the suffering of physical, mental, sexual and emotional brutality. To those very same boys I met again as an adult, while I served time in Soledad, San Quentin, Folsom and in Oregon state and Washington state penitentiaries.
To the many I have watched slaughtered on those prisons’ yards, and to those who went on to kill - three of whom I wrote to often until they were executed by the state that raised them.
To all the incarcerated children, who because of cruel physical beatings, sexual molestations and mental manipulations, become society’s outcasts and nonconformists; not because they are bad children but because they have become products of the system.
To the children who are - and will be - growing up as I did, filled with shame and guilt, unable to speak with any member of a society that refuses to lift its head from the sands of ignorance and denial.
To the future victims of these victims.

To the following men:

George Jackson, shot and killed by guards at San Quentin; Billy Cook, murdered at San Quentin; Gary Gilmore, executed by the state of Utah; Tony Zamore, murdered at San Quentin; Wallace Michael Ford, murdered at Vacaville; Dennis Dimmick, murdered at Vacaville; Jimmy Trembly, murdered at Soledad; Kenny West, shot and killed during a bank robbery; “Joker” Jones, murdered by prison guards at San Quentin; “Wop”, murdered by inmates at San Quentin; Jason, poisoned at Oregon State Penitentiary; to Charles Manson, a friend whose soul was killed by the System.
