Slugg: A Boy's Life in the Age of Mass Incarceration is a
blueprint for survival and a demonstration of the power of love, sacrifice, and
service. The son of a Kingpin and the prince of a close-knit crime family, Tony
Lewis Jr.'s life took a dramatic turn after his father's arrest in 1989.
Washington D.C. stood as the murder capital of the country and Lewis was cast
into the heart of the struggle, from a life of stability and riches to one of
chaos and poverty. How does one make it in America, battling the breakdown of
families, the plague of premature death and the hopelessness of being reviled,
isolated, and forgotten? Tony Lewis' astonishing journey answers these
questions and offers, for the first time, a close look at the familial residue
of America's historic program of mass incarceration – From the back
