Prison author Stephen Reid dies, after the "Oceans 11" jobs early in his life, before jail
Ian Austen has an obituary of author Stephen Reid in the New
York Times.
What’s noteworthy is that Reid became an established author
while an inmate in prison. Two of his books on Amazon are “A Crowbar in the
Buddhist Garden: Writing from Prison” (from Thistledown, 2003) and “Jackrabbit
Parole” (Quality Paperback, 1986).
The author was born in Ontario and his “smash and grab jobs”
were usually or always without real weapons.
This is not a topic that I would have embraced before,
personally speaking.
