\"\"<\/a>Ron Decker <\/span>was on top of the world. Barely old enough to be considered an adult, yet he had it all — money, cars, a woman, and a thriving drug business<\/span>. Thriving that it until he was busted<\/span>. Suddenly it was all gone. What didn’t go to his lawyers was taken by his girl and soon enough she was gone too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decker <\/span>ends up in San Quentin<\/span> where he’s got a shot at getting out in two years<\/span> if he can stay out of trouble. Trouble is, he’s young and not built for prison. Now he’s surrounded by hardened cons<\/span> who can’t be trusted. A race war<\/span> is brewing and Decker<\/span> realizes that he’s in way over his head. When a powerful older con<\/span> offers his friendship, Decker<\/span> isn’t sure how to react. One wrong move and his two year stint will become a death sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Animal Factory<\/span> was written by real-life ex-con Eddie Bunker<\/span> who not only wrote several critically acclaimed books [No Beast So Fierce<\/span> and Education of a Felon<\/span>, to name two], but also had a career as an actor.[probably best known for his role as Mr. Blue<\/span> in Reservoir Dogs<\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, the book was also made into a movie<\/span> starring Edward Furlong, Willem Dafoe, Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke<\/span> and Eddie Bunker<\/span> and directed by Steve Buscemi<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
