The Senior Warden at the Walls Unit in Huntsville is Mr. C. T. O'Reilly, a colorful Texan who showed me his prison and answered every question possible. Thanks to him and his trusted assistant, Michelle Lyons, for their hospitality and openness.
Thanks also to Neal Kassell, Tom Leland, Renee, Ty, and Gail.
Some overly observant readers may stumble across a fact or two that might appear to be in error. They may consider writing me letters to point out my shortcomings. They should conserve paper. There are mistakes in this book, as always, and as long as I continue to loathe research, while at the same time remaining perfectly content to occasionally dress up the facts, I'm afraid the mistakes will continue. My hope is that the errors are insignificant in nature.
