Until a roadhouse brawl over a honky-tonk angel led to John hall and six others being arrested, charged, tried, and incarcerated in Pennsylvania State Penitentiary.Whilst in prison, Hall begun taking college degrees, turning his life around and moving from hardened criminal to teacher and law clerk, now settled with seven children. This full and frank account of his life covers the hell-raising, criminal enterprises, his work as stone-mason, bartender, bouncer, painter, teacher, and now dedicated family man who works to help others avoid the past he had.

About the Author
A former chapter president of the Long Island Pagans, John Hall has done time in the state pen, as well as Penn State, where he taught history, American studies, rhetoric, and mathematics. He also worked as bouncer, bartender, bookmaker, stonemason, professional gambler, law clerk, and freelance journalist. He has written over 400 syndicated opinion columns, which have appeared in over a dozen newspapers, including the Houston Post and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He has raised seven children, half the time as a single parent. He currently lives in a 127-year-old dilapidated farmhouse in the Appalachian Mountains, where he seeks what George Jean Nathan once described as the three essentials of life: reasonable well prepared food, a moderately alcoholic diet, and the amiable company of amiable women.
