Introduction: A prisoner of ignorance : living in darkness -- Boys' prison : light where the sun don't shine -- The prison of family : what my father didn't tell me -- Image and identification : two ways we keep ourselves asleep -- Surviving prison : awakening to myself -- The hole in the wall : finding the higher path -- Taking "the work" out into the world : turning water into wine -- The rewards and responsibilities of a conscious life : the way of a one-eyed man -- Why I left the association in defense of the wrongly convicted : acting upon the truth -- Just enough : home free.
