The Word on the Yard
Dave Suro’s life changed in one night. With a confession to police leading to a five-year prison sentence, Dave shares the stories from his incarcerated life. But this book is about more than Dave. Being a friendly “fish” in prison, he endeared himself to many convicts and citizens alike. From offering chiropractic adjustments to reading letters to illiterate inmates, Dave made a community of every prison he went. Those touched by Dave share their stories of him while talking about their lives in prison. Per Dave’s request, this book stays light hearted without avoiding the inevitable and unjust realities of life in prison.
The low side of Sterling prison, where Dave spent some of his prison sentence.
