Dwuan M Smith Sr., is an inmate currently incarcerated in the federal system, and was sentenced to 167 months for 20 grams of heroine. His initial crime carried carried 33-41 months, but due to the career offender enhancement (which is partly responsible for the genocide and absences' of so many Blacks and Hispanics in the house-hold today), he was given a prison sentence of 167 months. Since an early adolescent and being raised in a single parent home, he has been struggling to navigate his way through life, and his only teacher of life, has been through trial and error, as he lacked sufficient guidance in someone showing him the correct way into obtaining manhood. Through it all, and even today, in one of the most trying times of his life, he has never given up hope, and still is committed by any means necessary to reach a higher plateau in life! This is not an autobiography of his life, but elements of his experience's in life are found in the book to stand as support in some of the facts and views expressed. This book was constructed with the intent to give a voice, to the voiceless! Not those only incarcerated, but those in the free-world also, whose lives are plagued by ignorance, and for those who have been put in place, to make decisions, judgments, too often speaking for, and rendering out punishments, among those whose lives they have deemed worthless and expendable, have no genuine concern for, and continuously failing to make an honest effort to assist or simply understand. His current situation and commitment to persevere, is a testament to the statement and fact that: nobody can stop you, but you!
