Person
Bob wrote this Manuscript in the 1980s. So some of his references are now dated.
Bob was guilty of the Murder of both his father and mother.
The courts found that he was "insane" at the time but he was confined in Gaol "at the Governor's Pleasure".
This is the true story, told by him of his time in prison and of his eventual release into "Freedom", and more importantly, of his Redemption.
