Thirty-four years ago, Charles Smith was incarcerated in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (or 'Injustice, ' as he would say) with two life sentences. Now, he shares with us the harrowing and horrific experience of life in a Texas prison. Breaking the Chains of Bondage is his personal memoir that guides us through the fields and down the halls of everyday life, torture, and trauma in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison system. It is a read you won't soon forget.
Despite facing numerous hardships and challenges during his 30+ years of incarceration, Charles persevered and achieved a master's degree in psychology from UT-Clear Lake in Houston, earning widespread respect as a motivational speaker. He shares his passion for justice for all and his love for Esther and humanity at large. Breaking the Chains of Bondage is a riveting story of courage, resilience, and love. Open it up-take a walk inside.

About the Author
Charles R. Smith was born in Tyler, Texas, in 1956. He attended Mamie G. Griffin Elementary School, Boulter Jr. High, and John Tyler High School. He grew up on a farm and left home at seventeen. He moved in with relatives living in Los Angeles, California, in Jordan Downs. He attended Lock High on San Pedro Avenue. He worked part time at the medical center on 103rd and Grape Street, in the gift shop, to pay rent to his relatives and cover high school education expenses. In 1973, he volunteered for duty in the US Navy, while still seventeen, to serve on the USS Midway CVA 41 (aircraft carrier) in the Tonkin Gulf during the rescue mission out of Vietnam. He graduated from Nile C. Kinnick High School in Yokosuka, Japan, in 1974. After military service, he returned to Tyler, Texas, and entered Tyler Jr. College, and used his GI Bill funds to complete college and graduated as a member of the national honor society ("Who's Who") in 1977. Thereafter, he transferred to Texas A&M University at College Station while studying petroleum engineering. A job recruiter from Imco Service (Houston, Texas) visiting the A&M College campus offered him a job in 1979 as a drilling fluids engineer to work the "ARK-LA-TEX" district. He trained and specialized in drilling and production, stuck pipe, loss circulation, blowout prevention, as well as secondary and tertiary recovery.
In 1990, he was sentenced to life in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. In the present, he has continued his academic pursuits by working on his Master's Degree in Humanities in Abnormal Behavior at the University of Houston, Clear Lake. In addition, he has become a member of Toastmasters International, improving his public speaking and motivational skills along with his dedication to writing to save his sanity and humanity. He plans to reside in Houston, Texas, upon his release with his wife.
