Chapter 1

In some prisons the term crash test dummy is used to refer to an inmate who makes poor decisions and stays in trouble. Most are young and immature. This book is about an adolescent who is in danger of becoming a crash test dummy. Wayne learns at age 14 that his incarcerated father has been sending him mail for six years. His mother has hidden this fact from him, returning the mail unopened. The discovery leads to rebellion and the possibility of the boy following in his father's footsteps. Will he become prison's newest crash test dummy or can his rebellion be curbed before it's too late?
