Hi, my name is Rodney Hough, formally known in my criminal and drug-addicted state as Rod-Ski. I wrote this book based on my very creative memory that goes as far back as a three-year-old baby. Actually, writing this book was sort of journaling for me as a way to get out my feelings, all the guilt, hurt, and pain that comes with being Black and addicted, growing up in the ghetto/projects. What you witness as a child can sometimes become part of your thinking and doing. Criminal behavior is a learned behavior, just like racism. It can destroy you and your loved ones. The twisted way of thinking is thought to be normal-going to prison, normal, and getting out and looking good, normal.
In this book, you'll see how I used pain as a source of information to change my overall situation. I wrote it from a place where I found a sense of perfect peace, federal prison.
