Lil Chris is just nineteen when he arrives at Angola. He's got a life sentence with no chance of parole, but he's also got a clear mind and sharp awareness - one that picks up quickly on the details of the system, his fellow inmates, and what he can do to claim a place at the top. When he meets Rise, a mature inmate who's already spent years in the system, and whose composure and raised consciousness command the respect of the other prisoners, Lil Chris learns to find his way in a system bent on repressing every means he has to express himself.
