Tony loves to read and write. It’s the one thing that can get him out of prison, at least in his own mind. No matter if it’s poetry, articles, stories or books, it it has words in it, he loves it. Words are power, they make us free and they can change things. You can change a man’s behaviour by holding him at gunpoint, but only words have the power to change his mind. That’s why Tonys word are so powerful. He is living with death in plain sight every day, you can take away his freedom, his belongings, …whatever you want, but you can never take away his thoughts and words.
The pen is mightier than the sword, Tony is living proof of that.
