Doing Time is the chronicle of the author's experience in the criminal justice system. People who have never been prosecuted or incarcerated often have questions about what that experience is like. The answer is that each person's experience is different. Some men and women go away to some very bad places, places where violence and deprivation surrounds them everyday, wWhere they live in fear, maybe even terror. But in this case the author went away to a federal prison camp. These camps are not the club fed they are reputed to be, but they are not Attica or Sing Sing either. In Doing Time the author describes his experience from beginning to end; from the day his attorney told him how much trouble he was in, to the plans they made for his defense, his days in court, and his sentencing and incarceration. The book details the events as they happened, the thoughts that went through his head throughout the process, and then the nearly five years he spent in prison. For the reader who is curious about the subjects of prosecution and imprisonment, Doing Time describes the real life experience of a regular guy who actually did it. There are no heroes in this story, only descriptions of frustrations, failures and successes working through a system that is better avoided if at all possible.
