“It’s nearly midnight. They are coming for me,” whispered the shadowy creature in the corner of the old prison cell. When Daniel and Joe went to a Halloween sleepover at an abandoned, historic jail, they never expected to meet a prisoner on death row—especially not one who was executed more than 75 years ago! Why was the doomed man sent to death row? And how can the boys put right a terrible mistake that was made many years before? The answers can be found behind the rusting bars of the old prison cells. Join Daniel and Joe as they explore the deserted jail and uncover its most horrifying secret. Doomed on Death Row is part of Bearport’s Cold Whispers II series. This bone-chilling book is the fiction companion to Haunted Prisons from Bearport’s best-selling nonfiction series Scary Places.

In January 1983 Burt Folsom read a story in Time about Mitch Rutledge, a man on death row with an IQ of 84 who said he was sorry for what he did. "Forget him," the last line of the story read. But Burt wrote Mitch a letter and discovered a man more interesting and intelligent than the article revealed. Burt and his wife, Anita, began a friendship with Mitch and saw him become a leader and role model for others in prison, teaching himself to read and write (starting with copying down the spelling of items he knew from TV commercials) and becoming a national spokesman on prison life. Death on Hold is the amazing story of their friendship, and of grace, reconciliation, and redemption for a man without hope who was given a future.

Having emigrated from Kerala, India, to the United States in 1973 at the age of twenty-five and experiencing life in India as a young man and the rest in the United States, Andrew faced many challenges and was always trying to reason with various incidents and opportunities. Growing up as one of the five children in a village close to Kottayam town in the state of Kerala during the 1950s and 60s, he had unique experiences during his childhood and young life. Andrew finds life interesting, enjoyable, and challenging, yet he is disturbed by people s criminal activities and evil behavior. He was always trying to find the reason why people get into these negative forces. Often, the reason for criminal behavior is greed, hatred, anger, jealousy, doubts, and sometimes poverty. But he has seen criminal behavior among drug addicts and alcoholics. Andrew concludes that most of the time, a criminal is created during his or her childhood. A person s behavior, habits, thinking patterns, and character are molded during childhood, through the influence of parents, teachers, and others. Andrew also believes that a person can change if opportunity is given by being with good people in good surroundings. Andrew has a master s degree in environmental engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, and a master s degree in chemistry from Kerala University. He currently works as the director of operations of a utility operating company. He has written extensively in various magazines in India on environmental issues. He has published three books through AuthorHouse: A Journey through Generations, an autobiography, and two novels, Secrets of Passion and Love with the Ghost, using the pen name Andreos. Andrew is a community activist involved in various community organizations.

A stunning account of life behind bars at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, where the nation’s hardest criminals do hard time. “A page-turner, as compelling and evocative as the finest novel. The best book on prison I’ve ever read.”—Jonathan Kellerman The most dreaded facility in the prison system because of its fierce population, Leavenworth is governed by ruthless clans competing for dominance. Among the “star” players in these pages: Carl Cletus Bowles, the sexual predator with a talent for murder; Dallas Scott, a gang member who has spent almost thirty of his forty-two years behind bars; indomitable Warden Robert Matthews, who put his shoulder against his prison’s grim reality; Thomas Silverstein, a sociopath confined in “no human contact” status since 1983; “tough cop” guard Eddie Geouge, the only officer in the penitentiary with the authority to sentence an inmate to “the Hole”; and William Post, a bank robber with a criminal record going back to when he was eight years old—and known as the “Catman” for his devoted care of the cats who live inside the prison walls. Pete Earley, celebrated reporter and author of Family of Spies, all but lived for nearly two years inside the primordial world of Leavenworth, where he conducted hundreds of interviews. Out of this unique, extraordinary access comes the riveting story of what life is actually like in the oldest maximum-security prison in the country. Praise for The Hot House “Reporting at its very finest.”—Los Angeles Times “The book is a large act of courage, its subject an important one, and . . . Earley does it justice.”—The Washington Post Book World “[A] riveting, fiercely unsentimental book . . . To [Earley’s] credit, he does not romanticize the keepers or the criminals. His cool and concise prose style serves him well. . . . This is a gutsy book.”—Chicago Tribune “Harrowing . . . an exceptional work of journalism.”—Detroit Free Press “If you’re going to read any book about prison, The Hot House is the one. . . . It is the most realistic, unbuffed account of prison anywhere in print.”—Kansas City Star “A superb piece of reporting.”—Tom Clancy

Peter Manuel was an icy-eyed psychopath and sexual predator, a petty thief and a relentless liar given to violent and uncontrollable rages. His unprecedented crimes presented the Scottish police and public with a new sort of criminal: the ruthless serial killer. Manuel was hanged at the age of thirty-one and convicted of seven murders, but suspected of many more. He slew many of his victims as they lay sleeping in bed, while others were picked up in lonely places and strangled or savagely beaten to death. Right up to his final arrest, he played a taunting game with the police, mocking their bungling attempts to trap him and continuing to kill with impunity - that is until he was trapped by his own vanity and arrogance. This definitive definitive biography recounts Manuel's chilling story from his birth in the USA to the moment the hangman's rope snapped his spine in Glasgow's notorious Barlinnie Prison.

A DISTANT CONNECTION is an absolute must read for all who find themselves intrigued by the criminal lifestyle in its many facets. From a hi-maximum security prison cell constructed to maximize human loneliness; a site designed to kill the mind; Kenneth Jamal Lighty manages to not only live, but thrive. Through self-cultivated intellect and hard-earned wisdom, he uses the single, most powerful weapon known to a prisoner -the ink pen- to not only bring the plight of the incarcerated into the consciousness of many throughout the world, but also to make a difference by inspiring and informing those whom he manages to come into contact with. In his book debut, Kenneth's efforts to warn a generation of youth who appear to be enamored with street life are nothing short of remarkable. Reaching out to several of his peers, spanning several states across the country, and with various affiliations, he manages to create a pseudo-panel, providing a platform for prisoners to be able to share the hard-earned wisdom attained from years of making their own mistakes, in an effort to alter the trajectory of a generation that is seemingly on a road that will only lead to one or two places: the penitentiary or the cemetery. Via letters, filled with rawness and empathy, each reader is challenged to try a different route to "success". Each individual opens up to reveal the pain beneath the exterior, and offers sound advice on how not to end up a victim of bad choices, before it is too late. Long overdue, A Distant Connection is a much needed intervention that will hopefully inspire change, and place our young people back on the path that will lead to a productive, healthy future.

Life in Iran as an artist under the Shah and during the Iranian Revolution A Man of the Theater tells the personal story of a theater artist caught between the two great upheavals of Iranian history in the 20th century. One is the White Revolution of the 1960s, the incomplete and uneven modernization imposed from the top by the dictatorial regime of the Shah, coming in the wake of the overthrow of the popular Mosaddegh government with the help of the CIA. The other one is the Iranian Revolution of 1979, a great rising of Iranian society against the rule of the Shah in which Khomeini’s Islamist faction ends up taking power. Written in a simple direct style, Rahmaninejad’s memoir describes his fraught creative life in Tehran during these decades, founding a theater company and directing plays under the increasing pressure of the censorship authorities and the Shah’s secret police. After being arrested and tortured by the SAVAK and after spending years in Tehran’s infamous Evin prison and being a cause célèbre of Amnesty International, Rahmaninejad is freed by the Revolution of 1979. But his new-found freedom is short-lived; the progressive intellectuals and artists find themselves overpowered and outmaneuvered by the better organized Islamists, leading to renewed terror and to exile. In Western perception, the Iranian Revolution, which this year has its 40th anniversary, often overshadows the decades of Iran’s modern history that preceded it. A Man of the Theater fills this gap. The title derives from a time of torture in prison when interrogators ordered him to write everything about his activities. To avoid revealing anything incriminating he took pen in hand and wrote and wrote about all his artistic passions, beginning, "Here it is—this is my life! I am an artist! A man of the theater!"

Jack Folly's book questions all the certainties of the life of this society in global terms, highlighting how some values have been sacrificed in favour of the interest of the ruling class in maintaining control over the population and its human functions, also recalling that nothing is lost and that the model of failure, which now seems crucial, can always be reversed. Jack Folly tackles in an incisive and direct way all the "hot" and controversial issues of today's society: from politics to economics, from religion to music, to school and the psychical analysis of human behaviour, he touches on all aspects to be improved or eliminated in this world to make it ideal, perfect and serene and we can learn, by transmitting the awareness that this journey always begins with ourselves, with our consciousness that, first of all, must be formed and educated to exist. The real world exists, it is within us. Jack Folly is an Italian DJ, condemned to death in the United States. From his prison cell, prisoner number 1309 is allowed one concession - to broadcast the 'music of his life' in a worldwide radio program. Jack is a man in his forties, in his prime. His solitary existence is within the confines of his 2m x 3m cell, on death row, at the maximum security prison 'Alcatraz', the notorious island penitentiary in San Francisco Bay.Jack unleashes his indignation for the world around him. Not the four walls of his cell that preclude him from Society but Society itself. He denounces the socio-political reality that he has known, slapping it in the face for what it is. Jack knows what really counts in Life and he knows what only deserves contempt. What we must fight by infusing consciences with consciousness. Put it this way, why would people give credit to the strong, passionate opinions of a megalomaniac, dangerous convict - maybe even a serial killer? Jack is Italian, born to an Italian father and a mother from New York. He grew up in the Vomero district of Naples and emigrated to the United States, following the demise of his relationship with his brother and all the dramas between them, Jack always the rebel, had no qualms when he stole his brother's entire treasured record collection as a vendetta. His highest motivation, however, was to escape from the climate of tension and drastic wind of change, sweeping across Italy at that time. In April 2010, Jack was the owner of a snack bar in Central Park, New York and one night, an armed thug tried to rob the day's takings from poor Jack. They start to fight, Jack is defending himself and the cash. A shot is fired, the criminal dies. Jack, in his innocence, turns himself into the Police. His honesty backfires on him and he is charged with murder, sent to Alcatraz and condemned to death. Execution by electric chair. So this is where the radio program starts...... Jack begins broadcasting worldwide, spinning his tunes as a DJ. His music and words come via the radio, in all sincerity and without fiction. Jack does not have much time left and nothing to lose. Jack uses raw and brutal language, he can afford to look at reality in the face and lay bare the truth in front of your eyes. Awareness and to have a conscience is enough to improve society.
