Old Too Fast, Smart Too Late Illustrates the life of an imprisoned person, in a country that imprisons more of its citizens than any other. This book reveals an uncomfortable truth -- that prisoners are human beings who struggle to love, live, and die. Tray's journey through prison is not a unique, but Tray's wisdom gleaned through growing old too fast, and getting smart too late provides insight into prison life, through his clarity of mind, humorous heart, and joyous spirit.
