Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man’s Prison is T.J. Parsell’s autobiographical coming-of-age story from inside prison. When Parsell was seventeen, he held up a photo mat with a toy gun and then sentenced to four and half to fifteen years in prison. Upon arrival, he was drugged and raped by four prisoners and then decidedly “owned” by one. He was forced into a code of silence on penalty of death. Parsell is now one of America’s leaders in prison reform advocacy. His memoir is not only an unflinching portrait of prison life, but of a teenage boy coming of age, searching for his identity.
