Fictional stories are written to entertain so some aspects of a story may not be exactly what would be expected or known to be factual. We have all seen TV series or movies depicting prisons and prisoners. This story is about the horrors of prison life for young people sentence to imprisonment. It shows how they are used and abused by other prisoners. It is not a fanciful story but based on fact and research. The story is fictional but the events are often true. Society hide these people away in prisons because they have broken the rules of society. However, on their release they are still scorned and live however they can survive; many committing further crimes and in many cases to get themselves readmitted to prison where they know what to expect and know they will have a roof over their head and 3 meals a day. They accept what will happen to them but reality is far worse. Prison is a brutal system, run by rules and regulations; gangs and gang rules. Man-to-man sex is rife and accepted so this is depicted in this story. Most men committed to prison have never had man-to-man sex before and some are even married with children, but prison changes a man and many family men cannot handle family life outside of prison and either re-offend or seek male company. It is not their fault and if not imprisoned, would never have sought out male sex. Man is an animal whose sex drive is greater than a woman's. Man needs sex to prove his virility and power over those less active. Prison allows these men to dominate others who do not have the strength to fight them off.
About the Author: I have authored many books in many genre but am better known for my gay skinhead and skinhead books. I was born in Guernsey in the Channel Islands to a working class family and had a great family life and upbringing. Being from a working class family allowed me to see the world from a working class point of view and as skinheads are working class lads, I was able to relate to them. I always considered myself a skinhead and still have not hung up my boots. I was educated at the Guernsey Grammar School for Boys. I immigrated with my family to Sydney Australia in 1965. After roaming the country for a few years joined the Royal Australian Air Force as a Motor Mechanic and Diesel Fitter trainee and enjoyed 25 years of military service. I retired from the military in 2002 and after living and working in an Indigenous Community in the Northern Territory finally settled in Cairns in Far Northern Queensland in 2004. It was here that I started to write after I was divorced in 2005. Most of my books are of the gay genre and are listed at the back of this book. This book, 'To Be Reborn', is a story of a young man born into a wealthy family and with all the advantages for wealth; good schooling, the darling of the Cheer leaders as the team quarter back. But Marshall wanted his father's affection but got none. He started to act up and was arrested several times but his father always sent the family lawyer to get him out. After a finals game in the College NFL, Marshall entered a bar to drink with his fellow team mates, when he saw his nemesis from the game; Kasinski. Marshall was still hyped up from the game and when he saw Kaminski, he lost his cool, hitting him several times over the head with a chair and laying into him with the boot. Marshall was charged and sentenced to 8 years in prison and disinherited by his father. The story tells of how he finds his way through prison life, finds his true calling as a concrete laborer and several male lovers both inside and outside prison. He teams up with the Aryan Brothers in prison and on release continues to carry out murders on their behalf until they decide he knows too much and try to have him killed. Marshall escapes but has to go through much to kill himself off and find a new life, finally ending up as a black man in South Africa with his partner Zac. This story is as much a gay love story as it is a story of prison culture and where it leaves ex prisoners on release. I hope you enjoy the book. Phil Lesbirel
