Convict's cry: a true story about one of the few who made it back

by John W Ardelyan, Norman B Rohrer

"Phil Thatcher spent almost twenty year in reformatories, jails and prisons. A variety of crimes beginning when he was only eleven years old, carried him from prison to prison - including the formidable San Quentin...Every time Thatcher escaped or was paroled, he determined to go straight. But no matter how hard he tried, he found himself falling back into the same old patterns...'Convict's cry' offers a gripping, dramatic account of life behind prison walls and how God reaches out to men enslaved by crime. It recounts Phil Thatcher;s life as he lived it, thought it, endured it. This book demonstrates the ugliness of prison life and the emptiness of good resolutions. And it shows the difference Christ can make."--Jacket.
