Meet Socrates Fortlow, a tough ex-con seeking truth and redemption in South Central Los Angeles -- and finding the miracle of survival. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eI either committed a crime or had a crime done to me every day I was in jail. Once you go to prison you belong there.\u003c\/i\u003e Socrates Fortlow has done his time: twenty-seven years for murder and rape, acts forged by his huge, rock-breaking hands. Now, he has come home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building in Watts. Working for the Bounty supermarket, and moving perilously close to invisibility, it is Socrates who throws a lifeline to a drowning man: young Darryl, whose shaky path is already bloodstained and fearsome. In a place of violence and hopelessness, Socrates offers up his own battle-scarred wisdom that can turn the world around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Washington Square Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780671014995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.40w x 0.57d","brand":"Walter Mosley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639778406556,"sku":"9780671014995","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0c5011a4-343d-4d4e-9732-2a7d0fe63803.jpg?v=1607545005","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/always-outnumbered-always-outgunned-9780671014995","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
