Dystopia is a society of human misery, squalor, disease, terror and overcrowding. It is the opposite of Utopia. This is a book about going to prison. Mike Oulton
went to prison for trying to smuggle fifteen kilos of cocaine into the United
States. Ed Griffin went to prison to cause a revolution. He wanted men to write
their stories and when the public discovered the horror of prison, the walls
would come tumbling down. Mike counts the years and the days until he can get
back on the street; Ed numbers the converts to his revolution. One day they meet
in a classroom and neither is the same again.
About Dystopia
DYSTOPIA – the story of prison.. DYSTOPIA takes readers through some of North America’s worst prisons. The story follows two men on different paths. One man wants to go inside to change the system, the other wants to get out with his life. "One of the best things I do every year is to go to jail. Talking with the prisoners at Matsqui about writing is a joy, and seeing the effects that writing has had on their lives is a great reward. To see a book like this, the result of so much hard work and emotional honesty, is something really special." Diana Gabaldon, New York Times best selling author. "Griffin and Oulton
tell entertaining stories of prison with the subtle purpose of convincing the
reader of their point of view. Griffin, the outsider, thinks prison is little
but a crime school, while Oulton, the insider, finds value there." Don McQuinn,
best selling author of Die Moondark- Saga
8, Hexengift, Warrior, Wanderer "Let no one say I'm soft on crime. I call for a system that demands of criminals real change. Right now convicts don't have to alter their behavior, they just have to do their time. Boring, but easy. I call for wardens to devise correctional facilities that really correct, that demand socially acceptable behavior and the personality structure to support it." Ed Griffin "There’s no such thing as a halfway crook." Mike Oulton "I came to prison to cause a revolution and what I found was a friend." Ed Griffin "Writing changed my life and melted the bars around my soul." Mike Oulton
