Autorenporträt

Joshua Long is an Assistant Professor of Criminology and Justice Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, where he studies prison violence and rehabilitation programs. He has extensive experience interviewing prisoners across the United States and believes that letting prisoners tell their own stories is the best way to learn about life behind the walls. Jason Vukovich is currently incarcerated in Alaska and, for the first time, has decided to share his complete story with the public. He writes about his own journey from a survivor of child abuse to vigilante to philosopher. He understands the vigilante mindset better than anyone, and he has one message for his supporters "you are well advised to never walk my trail..."
