I didn`t realize it early on, but my mother was emotionally insuring my survival in order that I become an M.D.and reciprocate. I carefully avoided any meaningful relationships for many years and focused on fulfilling the covenant with her. I attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completed my training at the true "ivory towers" in medicine I had kept my mother alive through four grave illnesses until her passing in 1977. I left the emptiness her loss created and began a new life in California. There, I believe I alnost achieved legendary status treating the medical and social needs of a population shunned and forgotten by society At the height of my success, I acquired a hotel on its own island in Belize and mingled with the participants of the "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous". And then, suddenly,in one untoward series of events, I lost the degree and profession that I had spent a lifetime achieving. I was betrayed by a physician assistant who wrongfully accused me of masterminding his criminal activities. I was given the option of acting as an under cover agent for the Department of Justice. My attorneys had left me a position which I judged to be life threatening. I chose to survive and was led away to the harsh reality of the California Institue for Men. I suvived my prison experience because of a sacred bond with Gregory Jolley or "Rooster", originally a hard core,level four inmate who shared a cell at one time with John Clutchette, one of the Soledad "brothers". We defied the segregation in Chino at great personal risk. But first, I had to discover the inner resourses that would allow me to transform myself into a respected "convict". I invite you to read the amazing details of this never before articulated recount of a friendship in prison that defied all conventional wisdom.
