Rebellious Hearts

Description:

"Rebellious Hearts is a narration of a personal evolution igniting a revolution. While serving a life sentence at an antiquated prison in Smyrna, Delaware. Dwayne 'Bim' Staats still maintained enough pride to search for his purpose in life. He vowed to never let incarceration be an excuse to not maximizing his potential. Unfortunately, this mentality was in conflict with a system that reduces prisoners to animals. Reform, rehabilitation or correction was never the agenda. Their only practice was absolute control enforced by physical, mental & emotional abuse. The prison administration eventually discovered that some 'animals' can't be domesticated, and instead of being broken or frightened. They'll attack, fight, claw, growl and roar to the end!!!"
