Metamorphosis: My path to transformation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781039101623)

How does an innocent five year old boy become a killer locked up for 23 hours a day in a super-maximum prison? How does this man survive nearly 32 years of incarceration and return to society as a compassionate, productive, and thoughtful husband, employee, grandfather, volunteer, and community member?

This memoir combines Yves Réal Côté's prison writings with academic context by Criminologist and friend, Dr. Alana Abramson. This unique approach to autobiography provides readers with informative, first-hand insight into the lifelong impacts of childhood and adult trauma, the cruelty of a life sentence, criminal (in)justice in Canada, and the importance of community and reintegration. This book is critical reading for social science students and anyone interested in trauma, transformation, and criminal justice.
