Solitary Confinement Damon Smith

Solitary Confinement (My Walls Are Talking) is a thought provoking look inside the mind of former inmate #1001732 Damon Smith while he served time in solitary confinement at the Missouri State Penitentiary. Through poem and spoken word he expressed his deepest and darkest emotions that ran the gamut from denial to acceptance. A continuation of the author's first book of poems (142 Thoughts Of A Convicted Felon) Damon Smith gives a wonderfully worded and heart felt account of his thoughts and self conversations as he was forced to deal with the horrible and inhumane conditions of 23 and 1 hour lockdown at Missouri's oldest and most dangerous prison The Walls (also known as the "Bloodiest 47 acres in America.")
