Book excerpt: From Privilege to Prison A bubbly, outgoing young woman spirals out of control in a habitual cycle of addiction and alcoholism, indulging in immoral and criminal behaviors. Amy Wickes-Passmore pays a hefty price: a six month prison sentence that continues for almost 4 years, at times alongside of inmates serving life sentences. She is overwhelmed with the loss of her kids to the system as she tries to make sense of her situation while battling her newly diagnosed Bipolar I diagnosis. Amy's animated, comedic personality serves her well behinds bars. She makes a vow to those whom she leaves behind to tell the unimaginable stories about what life is like on the inside. Some jaw dropping stories of inmates, the justice system, kickin' it with the lifers, and performing karaoke for the prison guards. When Amy is released, her personal growth while enduring the harshest of environments allows her to "flip the script" on her past.
