{"product_id":"9781945650208","title":"San Quentin Quail: A Girl behind Bars","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe prison is a graveyard for the living, a place where tarnished egos and twisted minds congregate against their will and where anger is vented toward the guards and their families. My father had a job as a guard, later becoming the father of sports for San Quentin Prison. We had a home on the reservation across from the warden’s mansion on the hill, and I attended the small school on the grounds where the warden’s wife taught classes. The school janitor, an inmate ready for parole within a year, was always available to throw a ball or show us how to swing a bat. That’s how the children of the guards grew up, liking and trusting the prisoners that walked freely through the prison grounds. It was a happy childhood, even though the school bus was occasionally late because of an execution.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cu\u003eSan Quentin Quail, A Girl Behind Bars\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is a true experience of life on a prison reservation.
