In 1967, I left my stifling small-town life in Southern California for a captivating carousel ride through the vibrant and tumultuous city of San Francisco during the iconic Summer of Love. What began as a liberating journey turned into a rollercoaster ride with more highs and lows than the Rocky Mountains. On my way home, packed with the knowledge that life offered more than taunts and ridicule, I landed in jail at the Angeles Juvenile Correction Center, a bleak prison catering to teenage rapists, murderers, drug addicts, and runaways. It was a stark reminder that what goes up must inevitably come down. Peace, Love, Incarceration: a story of self-discovery, rebellion, and resilience, set against the backdrop of a vibrant era. Join me as I recount this extraordinary chapter of my life, proving that even in the face of adversity, one can rise above and reclaim their place in the world.
