Stories from the Pen (Convicted Creations) - Softcover

Stories from the Pen is written by two men who are both loved by those who know them and hated by those who have never met them. They both have families, friends, and enemies. They both have a beating heart that is human. They are also both inmates. They sometimes see eye-to-eye on life in prison or life in general, and other times they couldn't disagree more. "It may be hard for the average good citizen to imagine how our hearts ache with sadness and longing for our loved ones. While I’m serving my decade-long prison sentence, whether I’m on the weight pile or in the hole for a fight on the yard, there isn’t a moment that goes by that I don’t wish I was holding a little pink cup having a tea party with my baby girl instead of being here." Charles Lytle, Son, Brother, Father, Inmate, Artist, and Author "I know society views criminals with a judgmental eye, and it’s for a good reason. We are criminals. But sometimes good people do bad things for dumb reasons. Society has lost sight of the fact that despite their criminal actions, inmates are still humans. Every action has a cause. If we could focus on the causes and their eradication, perhaps we could also find a path that leads to more smiles and laughter instead of regrettable tears of pain."
