Prison, Politics, Poetry and Passion: One Man's Life before and after a Brutal Small Town Slaying (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893154436)

This hard-hitting, explosive writing is an exposé of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections. It tells all about crooked correctional officers and their facilitation of the attempted murders of four young black inmates by a would-be white nationalist and nazi sympathizer in the infamous Lucasville, to the outright cover-up of murder by institutional authorities in Trumbull Correctional Institution with the aid of the coroner's office.

Adaié, the author, bares all as he recounts his stints in two separate juvenile institutional facilities, his life in foster care, gang life, being on the run, and how he eventually ended up in the ODRC, where he came to learn the harsh realities of adult prison; the politics that create, govern, and sustain the prison industrial complex; and the poetry and passion with which he has somehow survived it all as he seeks liberation from an illegal incarceration within the belly of Ohio's most insatiable of beasts.
