CONSEQUENCE: The Aftermath: Bonus: San Quentin Escape (Innocent Until Made Guilty Book 2)

Book Synopsis: After detailing one escape from San Quentin, along with sharing his childhood with us in, “I Cried, You Didn’t Listen”; a “#1 Best Seller” on Amazon for which he was awarded the coveted “Project Censored Award of Excellence,” Dwight has decided to share with us the next, and what he suspects will be the last chapter: the life California’s Youth Authority prepared him for – his years inside various state and federal penitentiaries. "CONSEQUENCE: the aftermath,” sequel to: "I Cried, You Didn't Listen," is the story of the 'few' incarcerated children who 'survived' the California Youth Authority's 'Training camps;' only to become society's 'worst nightmares.' While reading CONSEQUENCE: the aftermath, I was taken into a world few will ever know; much less die in; as Abbott has and will. Quickly I, in disbelief, learned what it takes for prison-hardened children to become even more hardened ‘men;’ housed in the most dangerous real estate on earth, while sharing insecure cages behind electrified, gun-towered prison walls; where hand-crafted weapons can be traded for Zu Zu’s and Wham Wham’s and are in every hand. In this book, Abbott describes the first day he walked, as an 18-year-old, through a gauntlet of older prisoners lined up to welcome the new guys, to “test” them, reminding Abbott that nothing had changed but that the Consequence would be much more serious if he made a mistake. He knew he had to fight to protect himself from some of the most dangerous criminals in this country, a number of whom would take advantage of his youthfulness and “make him theirs” at the first sign of weakness. You will read here about the violence that was a way of life for California’s convicts during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, and the “politics,” most often based upon racial lines, resulting in murder and riots that would ultimately cause the formation of prison gangs as we know them today because, as Abbott says, “We had to protect our own.” You will also read of individual bonds formed from deep-felt respect, trusting that the other “has my back”; bonds that end only in death.
