The Testimony of a Black Sheep provides an Òup close and insideÓ view into the gang culture. The author uses a continuous and consistent flow of personal anecdotes that vividly describes the dangerous and subservient life of a gang member. I have shared this book with minors who are currently incarcerated in a juvenile correctional facility for crimes committed while associated with youth gangs. It was indeed a Òwake up callÓ for the youth to get a ÒrealÓ look into their futures. They were able to relate to many of the situations that the author described.
