{"product_id":"usual-tears-d-ansgar-nyberg-9781081701529","title":"Usual Tears: Three Months in Aught and Six","description":"The book, USUAL TEARS: THREE MONTHS IN AUGHT AND SIX, is an imaginative collection of prose and poetry that lays before the reader the innermost thoughts and emotional life of a man thirty-plus years in prison. The book USUAL TEARS relates the history of Nevada state prison in the first quarter of 2006 when a new get \"tough Warden\" was assigned in the previously quiet and safe prison that now turned into a place of violence and murder. Nyberg wrote: \"At suppertime a Unit Ten prisoner stop by Unit Six and told the officer that a dead man was in the Unit 10 C-tier shower.\" The murderers imprisoned at Nevada State Prison had never celebrated death with the zeal that their \"betters\" (the administration) did. Nyberg further wrote: \"On nights of an execution we prisoners were locked in our cells immediately following the evening meal. While we were locked down, the administration officials and distinguished guests have a party with the buffet set up in the school area.\" The author reminds us: \"It is not what you think that defined you - it is what you do with those thoughts. The madman's dreams are also the dreams of the poet.\" As he now finishes his forty-fifth year in prison the author expresses his greatest fear: \"I am facing the greatest fear of old lifers-to grow old and alone in prison.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
