Inhaltsangabe

Have you ever pondered the path to becoming a shot caller in prison and the relentless battles required to maintain such a formidable position? At just 19 years old, Richard Stanley found himself convicted of robbing over a dozen banks in San Diego, CA, leading to an 8-year sentence in a California prison.

This gripping true story unfolds four years into Richard's sentence when he was approached to become a shot caller for his prison gang – the Surenos. Throughout his leadership, Richard encountered a relentless series of trials. A single misstep could prove fatally consequential. His journey was marked by prison riots, intricate internal politics, power struggles, periods of solitary confinement, daring escapes, and the tragic loss of fellow inmates at the hands of guards.

This firsthand account offers an unvarnished look into the stark reality of life behind bars and vividly illustrates why prison reform in America is an urgent and vital necessity.


"I'm often asked why I still do criminal defense. My response is because the stories are the best. Richard Stanley has proved that adage to be true ten times over. This is a fascinating story told in masterful fashion that is riveting and entertaining."

--Mark Geragos, Los Angeles, defense attorney, former CNN legal commentator (in reference to Stanley's second book, Up on Game: When I Ruled the World)
